The hockey offseason can often feel like watching paint dry.
Thankfully, the Las Vegas NHL franchise has offered a cool alternative in the form of the first sheet of ice being installed at T-Mobile Arena.
Behold the transformation.
It's not exactly the most enthralling process, but it's a big step towards the rebirth of professional hockey in Sin City.
Hopefully there will be a team logo at center ice in the near future, but the NHL one will have to do for now.
