I have nothing to say (mostly).

I primarily specialize in pages relating to the Vegas Golden Knights prospect system (and others), having created Brayden Pachal, Kaedan Korczak, Isaiah Saville, Jiri Patera, Lukas Cormier, Layton Ahac, Mikael Hakkarainen, and Matt Murray, while having significantly updated Logan Thompson and Zach Dean. I also significantly contributed to Vegas Golden Knights, Thompson, Johnny Gaudreau, and History of the National Hockey League (2017–present) achieving Good Article status, as well as List of Vegas Golden Knights draft picks, List of Vegas Golden Knights players, and List of Vegas Golden Knights seasons achieving Featured List status, and created the NHL All-Decade team article.

I'm also the founder, leader, and sole member of WikiProject Ice Hockey's Vegas Golden Knights task force.

I am truly shocked on how you didn't have this. Anyways, you 100% deserve it after all the work you've put into Hockey Wikipedia! Congratulations!. 45BearsFan (talk) 18:35, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
The Vegas Golden Knights Barnstar
@The Kip, this is for you! From day one of being on Wikipedia, I have noticed your love for ice hockey—and for the Golden Knights. You've gotten Logan Thompson to GA, the Golden Knights themselves to GA, and created many articles about their prospects. The Kip, you were one of the editors who inspired me to edit Wikipedia, and because of that, I bestow upon you this specially made barnstar! XR228 (talk) 01:49, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
