HENDERSON, NEVADA – MAY 21: An aerial view shows the closed Henderson Pavilion open-air theater on May 21, 2020 in Henderson, Nevada. On May 19, the Henderson City Council voted to spend USD 42 million to help replace the pavilion with the Henderson Event Center, a 6,000-seat, multipurpose facility that will be the home of the Vegas Golden Knights’ American League Hockey (AHL) affiliate. The Golden Knights will also spend USD 42 million on the new venue, which will host other sporting and community events. The project is scheduled to be built by June 2022, in time for the 2022-23 hockey season. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)

They held their first class on February 12th noting that "space is limited" so make sure to sign up!
Here's a note from Jeff as to why he decided to sign up for the class:
A couple of months ago, I was playing basketball here in Las Vegas. During one of my organized men's league games, a young player on the other team, couldn't have been much older than me, collapsed during a game. There were four games going on in this gym including our game plus add people watching and at the moment, nobody knew what to do. Thankfully, one woman who said she was a nurse sprung into action and began performing CPR. But what if she had never been there? Nobody else knew what to do. I felt absolutely helpless. I never want to have the feeling again, I always want to be prepared for the absolute worst.
Jeff is so excited to take the class, maybe you will see him there!
