‘Healing touch’: Oct. 1 survivor won tickets, saw Knights win Cup

Ariana Plummer understands how much the Golden Knights mean to to the Las Vegas community.

As a survivor of the Oct. 1, 2017 mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest festival, Plummer was able to see the way the Knights gave the city something to rally behind during their darkest time.

That was on display more than ever last Tuesday during Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finalswhich Plummer was able to attend with her father, Robert Plummer, who was a police captain during 1 October.
Ariana said it was amazing to see the team embrace the city in the way they did, including an emotional tribute to the shooting victims at the team’s first-ever home game, just nine days after the shooting.

“It’s so important to remember that they aren’t just a hockey team,” Ariana Plummer said. “They helped us through our toughest time. A piece of the city healed after the win, so I’m glad we could experience it.”
