"Some fans also held signs supportive of Hart. Hart was the first of those five players to agree to an NHL contract. The league ruled those players were eligible to sign deals beginning Oct. 15 and to play starting Dec. 1. Hart signed a two-year, $4 million contract and has been working with the club's American Hockey League affiliate in Henderson, Nevada."
"After he agreed to sign, Hart read a statement to reporters that, in part, said he wanted "to show the community my true character and who I am and what I'm about." Hart was asked Monday what steps he has taken to fulfill that pledge. "There's been a few things we've talked about," Hart said. "We did a thing there in Henderson helping out the homeless. There's some things we've talked about throughout the season. Whatever I can do to help, I'm happy to help.""
Carter Hart, one of five 2018 Canada world junior hockey players acquitted of sexual assault in July, made his first NHL appearance in nearly two years and received enthusiastic fan support during pregame introductions in Las Vegas. He was the first of the five to sign an NHL contract after the league allowed eligibility beginning Oct. 15 and play starting Dec. 1, agreeing to a two-year, $4 million deal while working with the AHL Henderson affiliate. Hart said he has engaged in community work, including helping the homeless, and emphasized preparation while appearing in three AHL games (1-2). He started at home as the Golden Knights prepared for a multi-game road trip, including a stop at his former Philadelphia team, and the NHL game against Chicago began poorly as Chicago scored shortly after Vegas' opening goal.
