Thank you for your efforts. A suitable arena location is crucial. Tempe WAS the perfect spot as it is centrally located. Unfortunately, that did not happen. The best solution is a combined hockey/basketball arena. The Coyotes have not had good ownership, and that is also critical. I miss hockey in the desert, and I know the players miss it also. I wish I could help and wish you the best!
Do you think they will do a sports district?
I wanna join a committee to help somehow. I miss Howler and the Yotes so much and it honestly brings me to tears thinking about them every time. I’ve been trying to stay positive, and it’s paying off, but no other sport gives me the same excitement hockey does. I’ve been involved since 1999, just a year after I moved here, and it’s become such a big part of me, from time spent involved at Ice Den and Polar Ice to supporting the team as a season ticket holder and forever fan. H-O-W-L 🐺🏒📣
I am a goalie with Alpha, and the Shott foundation has been a wonderful ally of ours. We love you at the Shott foundation and thank you for everything.
Glad to see and hear more news on bringing the NHL and most importantly our Coyotes back! Keep up the good work and let us fans know what to do to help!😎
Interesting….nothing about this on espn or nhl's website. Is the nhl even involved?
I was a full STM for the last 10 yrs of the Yotes. This is all nice; but there needs to be an owner with $3B committed to hockey, PHX, and an arena, and public needs to approve the arena simultaneously. Big ask.
Why?
Find a billionaire there yeah shills Start digging in the desert for the money burried by the NHL racketters…. Looks like a Cossa nostra advisory board and the holly rollers investment fund: Watch those Doans!
As a Philadelphia Flyers fan from New Jersey, I would definitely❤to see the Arizona Coyotes return to the Grand Canyon state, and the NHL but I'm sick and tired of Utah Mammoth fans, and other NHL fans saying that the Arizona Coyotes will never return to the Grand Canyon state, and the NHL that's annoying
Bring back the coyotes
Awesome 👏
Matt Ishbia could help out on this
Step one: Quality ownership FOR ONCE. Step two: build the rink in the east valley. There is no step 3. Nothing else would be needed.
Bring back the Coyotes
I can’t wait to hockey back in Phoenix or Arizona Coyote and come back
Blues fans here, would like to see hockey back in Phoenix…..trust me my hometown knows how it feels to have a sports team taking away from you….lets hope you guys can find a good spot to build a new stadium
Meh.. Even with money pumped in it just doesn't seem like hockey thrives here, even with the amount of professional hockey players thst come out of this region. PHX, ATL (X2) and Winnpeg (always one foot out the door it seems) are cities that just do not support hockey yet always complain when the teams leave.. Learn to support the Kings, or Vega$ or even Salt Lake – they actually embrace hockey..
Folks in Arizona don't care about hockey maybe some hardcore hockey supporters, NHL don't go back if the team isn't winning the arena is empty………
We need hockey in the desert. The NHL would still have the Coyotes if the former owner didn’t screw the entire Coyote’s organization unfortunately.
I think the NHL would consider another team to be relocated who is the question because the NHL made it clear expansion isn't on the table right now. 32 teams is enough already I can see a team being relocated to Arizona the question is which team in the west?
As a die hard New York Sports fan out of the Tri-State Area, NY/NJ the New York metropolitan area that watches local hockey of the 3 teams in the area of the Rangers, Islanders, and Devils I want the NHL to bring hockey back to the desert of Arizona and the Coyotes to come back those Kachina Jerseys are beautiful please get an owner that cares about hockey and the team and a place to build a new arena
You. Couldn't have done this 5 years ago?
And they'll finish in the basement like always
Hate to tell them. The team that left for Utah isn't coming back
Just because it’s gone you want it back. No one supported the entire existence of the org. Losers
These people are delusional. The hockey fanbase in AZ is small and the demographic makeup will never be in place to support a sport that is almost exclusively white.
I predicted that Shane Doan would be apart of the group to bring hockey back to AZ. I’m So glad that has come true. I pray that we get a hockey team to cheer for again soon.
I would love to bring the coyotes back and hockey in Arizona. Hockey is incredibly important to a lot of Arizona fans and a lot of fans world wide. Means so much to the state. We needs to be positive, the haters need to stop. Quit bringing negative energy and negativity to this. Grow up, hockey can work in Arizona, they just had shitty ownership. There are so many fans. Let’s bring and continue to bring positivity.
all 200 die hard Coyote fans are glad to hear this…where were all the other so called Coyotes fans when they played here?????
and "i'm a coyote for life" phony doan jumped a sinking ship and fled to Toronto….i'm a Hawks fan out here since '96. we went to every game they played here and it was always 3/4 Hawks fans,,,,FACT and it was the same in Tempe and you phony fans wonder why they left the state. P.S. can't wait to hear from from phony morgan and his so called "sources"
Hockey belongs in the desert!
Lyndsey Frye is the 🐐
Y'all couldn't even sustain your last team. What's going to actually be different this time? Nothing.
Paradise Ridge in north Phoenix, west of Scottsdale Road and north of the Loop 101. coyotes and football team?
If the Coyotes return before the Nordiques that's a travesty and Quebec City should riot.
Bring back the Arizona Coyotes
