Next season, a new team will join the NHL in the Vegas Golden Knights, and they already have one big fan.
Vegas-native and Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper has pledged allegiance to the new team, and he has openly turned his back on the Washington Capitals.

Harper appears to be in Las Vegas to help promote the new team, and he’s rocking the new gear.
This bummed out the Capitals, who expressed their disappointment in Harper’s decision.
