Hockey pressure no match for White House visit, says Vegas captain Stone

Playing ice hockey watched by thousands of rabid fans is no problem for Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone but speaking in front of United States President Joe Biden proved to be a whole other matter on Monday (November 13).
The Winnipeg-born winger appeared in the White House East Room with his team for a reception honouring their Stanley Cup triumph this year and said he and his team mates grew up dreaming of lifting the National Hockey League's top prize.
"We all come here in awe of this beautiful place and have such respect for you and the office that you hold," said Stone, who addressed Biden appearing to be overcome by nerves before composing himself to wild applause from the assembled guests.
"It's a lot easier playing hockey in front of 20,000 than this - can confirm that," he added.
The Golden Knights won the best-of-seven championship series 4-1 against the Florida Panthers in June, triggering celebrations along the famed Vegas Strip.
They are the second Las Vegas-based team to swing by the White House so far this year, after the Women's National Basketball Association's (WNBA) Aces visited in honour of their 2022 championship win.
