Vegas has become a big hockey city.

“Who would’ve thought, right? Hockey in the desert,” Martin said. “Everywhere you go — license plates, jerseys, decals. These people are die-hard Golden Knights fans.”

Martin attributes the city’s love of the Golden Knights to how the team responded when 58 people were killed and hundreds were wounded in the mass shooting at a country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in October 2017.

“The day after, … the entire Golden Knights team was out in the community giving blood,” Martin said. “We had some really powerful video of some of the team’s players just embracing strangers.

“It just built after that, the love and support. It’s really incredible to witness.”

Martin, who is part of a four-person sports department, also covers Raiders games. She not only covered home games during the Raiders’ inaugural Vegas season last year but also a few road games.

“That’s the best part about this job, is you kind of get to dabble in all different [sports],” she said. “It’s a lot of work. … When you’re going from the Golden Knights to the Aces to the Raiders, you have to stay on top of it all.”

The WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces debuted in 2018.

“As a former hooper, I love, love, love covering the Aces,” said Martin, a former Monmouth University player who lost to Aces coach and former Detroit Pistons star Bill Laimbeer in an on-air game of H-O-R-S-E.
