LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Kerry Bubolz, former president for the Vegas Golden Knights, has resigned from the organization, the team confirmed with Channel 13 on Wednesday.
Bubolz joined the team in 2016, serving as the VGK's first president for eight years before transitioning his role to the team's chief civic affairs and government relations officer. John Penhollow took the reins as president in June.
In a statement sent to Channel 13, Golden Knights owner and chairman Bill Foley said:
"Kerry Bubolz had a tremendous impact on the Vegas Golden Knights organization since he joined the club back in 2016. He was instrumental in the launch and buildout of the business. Under his leadership, we delivered terrific results across ticketing, sponsorship and fan experience while setting and raising the bar for in-game entertainment. We are grateful for all his contributions and wish him well in his future pursuits."
