LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud is passionate about his pets off the ice.
“My girlfriend Maddy and I— we have four," Whitecloud said.
We have three dogs and a cat, three goldens and an Australian cattle dog.
While he loves all four of them, one has a meaning behind his name.
"The little cattle dog is Koda," Whitecloud said. "Koda in my Native American language means best friend."
The VGK hosts the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday at 7 p.m.
