TEMPE, Ariz. -- Mullett Arena buzzed like few times in the two years since the Arizona Coyotes moved in, the fans amped for one last desert hurrah.
For 60 minutes, they got one last chance to watch the team they came to love before the franchise as they know it is no more.
Read more: www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/3...
The Coyotes are moving to Salt Lake City in a deal that could be signed less than 24 hours after Wednesday night's 5-2 win over Edmonton. Hockey could return, perhaps within five years, but the stark reality is this is the end for the foreseeable future.
"It's sad, it's upsetting," said Ryan Travis, a Coyotes season-ticket holder since 2001. "I can't believe it's finally come to an end. I can't believe this is how it's going to end."
Coyotes fans had been dreading this moment, hoping it never would happen.

Long time Utah resident and Sharks fan, super excited to see the growth this is going to bring to hockey along the Wasatch front and possibly St. George area as well. Ice time is so hard to get here and I'm hoping this will make youth hockey explode here like it has in many other markets. Sad to see the Coyotes go but hopefully this will be good for the long term health of hockey in both Utah and Arizona.

Regarding the retired jersey banners, I can attest (as a visitor from 🇨🇦) I went to 2 games at the Glendale Arena. The banners were there including from the Winnipeg Jets era. When I attended Mullett Arena a few weeks ago, I scanned the rafters and noticed there were zero jersey banners. So maybe there’s some truth to the urban legend? And yes, the drive out to Glendale did take some of the steam out of the excitement of going to watch a game.

NHL Coyotes relocation from A/Z to U/T for an actual productive analysis, reason that the Coyotes should have remained in the City of Phoenix upon renovating & sharing a sports arena with NBA Suns.

WG 99 was part of the unsuccessful & uncompetitive NHL Coyotes as a minority owner, general manager, & head coach during 2000s. He was not patient to develop & draft prospects globally into a playoff contenders. WG 99 did not looked into free agency or trade players carefully upon obtaining champion veterans to guide future prospects. Lastly, he refused to pay competitive salaries with his veteran; prospect; & rookie players. Remember 2004-05 NHL lock out season & playoffs got cancelled? WG 99 did not supported the NHL's CBA by the Players Union to increase minimum salary from $250K to $500K. This was due to the rise of internet by generating world profits & revenues such as online stream matches, team merchandises, digital games, corp sponsors, etc. Sadly, WG 99 missed these opportunities after his playing retirement to be stuck prior NHL minimum salary was $150K during 1980s.

To be fair, Meruelo never had any intention of selling or moving the team, he is all in on building his arena and entertainment district.

Maybe True North Sports can buy back the history of the 1.0 Jets?

@codymachado 29 дней назад

In the past it's followed. The Coyotes aren't technically going dormant. They are ceasing to exist as a franchise but will exist as an entity. When they come back, if they come back, it will be an entirely new franchise with a new history starting from square one, like Seattle and Vegas.

I balled my eyes out when I heard the goal horn and Coyote yell for the last time.... R.I.P. little doggie. There is no doubt in my mind that an arena in downtown Phoenix is the way to go. Phoenix is so spread out, that an arena in North Phoenix wouldn't work. NHL will not likely be back in the next 15 years.

@vagrante13 29 дней назад

It is such a travesty that the Coyotes are moving. I blame the incompetent owners, NIMBY Karens and the greedy landowners who wouldn’t allow the Coyotes’ owners overbid to avoid the auction because these land owns want to make a killing. Plus these greedy landowners kept delaying the auction to make more money. I hope those greedy bastards make less after the auction than they would have if they accepted the overbid.

Couldn't disagree more! I HATE that they call themyhe Salt Lake Olympics. This is a Utah team (which will likely draw from Idaho and Wyoming as well) and it should be named such. I just hope they come up with a better name than the ones I've heard bandied about...

After 28 years, an era for the NHL in Arizona has come to an end as the Arizona Coyotes are relocating to Salt Lake City, Utah beginning next season, but all good things come to an end, and in the words of Willy Wonka: Adieu, adieu. Parting is such sweet sorrow."

@SS-iv7wv 28 дней назад

Hopefully the Nhl is done with the Arizona experiment. It's obvious by fan support that a team will never make it there. On the flip side, I think Utah will be a great fit for the Coyotes.

@sebastianbelcher5354 28 дней назад

Fans aren't dumb, we showed up cautiously, knowing that the owners treated the team solely as an investment and clearly didn't care about the fans. This went on for well over a decade. Same situation as Seattle, they had a perfectly good stadium but when owners seem to feel contempt for the fans, fans don't want to part with their money. If the Utah experiment turns sour, don't be surprised. The team seems to be an investment over anything else. They could at least pretend to care about the cities and fans....

@AZ2FL2AK 28 дней назад

It is all Alex Meruelo's fault. He left a made-for-NHL arena before another made-for-NHL arena was built in a better location. Like any sport, when the game is more easily reached and the product is good, Phoenix supports them. The NHL wants a team in Phoenix. This owner is an idiot and should never own the next Phoenix NHL team. They should have moved into Veteran's memorial Coliseum. Yes, it would have taken more than the $5M Meruelo spent on the Mullett, but it is the best location with plenty of parking and a great hockey arena. I saw the LA Kings vs the Montreral Canadiens there in January of 1993 for a neutral site game (5-5- tie) and also saw the Phoenix Mustangs win the Turner Cup (WHL) there. would have been a great place for them until a made-for NHL arena was finally bult, or it would have been a great location for a made-for NHL arena. Meruelo is now synonimus with Art Model and Cleveland Browns.

How much money was pumped into that franchise by NHL owners over the years in revenue sharing? They must be pi$$ed at Bettman over this, I doubt any of them would agree too or want Meruelo back as an owner again. Hopefully this ends a decades long embarrassment for the NHL.

@stevenbauer4799 29 дней назад

More than just revenue sharing was used to keep az. afloat. nhl had to foot bills for unpaid hotels/players. Bettman gave broke barroway his step bro who knows how much to keep az. going. And glendale put tens of $ millions into funding yote losses for years thanks to a horrible last minute lease bettman blackmailed glendale into. This franchise alone has lost over $300 million in the desert. nhl probably got nice write offs for that. yotes alone used $20 mil. in ltir just to hit cap minimum this past season.

@ianhall6614 29 дней назад

I would wager a bet that the two recent expansions have covered the difference. And the fact that NHL teams have never been worth more than they are now and it’ll just keep going up and up.

@HHSGDFootballJPD 27 дней назад

Are they though? It's the first time in years that the team is profitable when they played in suboptimal conditions and were sold for $1.2 billion, $200 million of which is spread out to the owners.

An MLS team would’ve had a better chance of success in Arizona than the coyotes. I’m sorry to say this but an nhl team there was a long shot that unfortunately failed, and I say this from my time in the state while enrolled at UA.

@anthonyrivera0917 29 дней назад

Move the coyotes to Houston, because Slat Lake City is too far west to be in the central division and I don't want another scenario where a city has an nba, mls, nhl and maybe an mlb team but missing an nfl team, just like how Los Angeles was missing an nfl team from 1995-2015, so move the chargers to Slalt Lake City too.
