Ken Boehlke is the founder of SinBin.Vegas, which was the first website dedicated to covering the Vegas Golden Knights. SinBin was founded on August 25th, 2015 which was nearly a year before Vegas was awarded an NHL franchise and nearly 17 months before the first Golden Knights game was ever played. Since then, SinBin has rapidly grown as the premiere "fan" source for the city. Their outlets range from traditional article write-ups to a dedicated podcast, active Twitter engagement, and adopting to the ever-changing marketing landscape.
Ken Boehlke is originally from Palos Park, Illionois and moved to Las Vegas just a short time after graduating from the University of Mizzou. While working at a conservative news company, in Las Vegas, Ken saw an "under-served" hockey market when there were 13,000 pre-sale season ticket deposits sold and not an article written about it in over 3 weeks. Ken and his partner Jason Pothier quickly jumped on the opportunity and the rest is history!
