12Sports breaks down the latest for the Yotes and Suns.
The NHL’s smallest arena ended up being one of the franchise’s biggest problems and will be the site of one final party that will be more like a wake.Coyotes C Jack McBain skates in the third period of an NHL hockey game Sunday, Feb. 18, 2024, in Denver.
“It's devastating,” said Ryan Travis, a Coyotes season-ticket holder since 2001. “It's more than a game to me. My family was raised around them, my kids play hockey because of them and so many memories, it's hard to fathom them not being here.” With no guarantees of building a new arena, Meruelo opted to sell the Coyotes' hockey operations for $1.2 billion — $200 million of which will be distributed to NHL owners as a relocation fee — so the players wouldn't be stuck playing at the not-up-to-NHL-standards Mullett.
“The resounding thing I've heard from people I've talked to is the false sense of hope,” said Jennifer DelPrincipe, whose family had season tickets before the Coyotes moved from Glendale, Arizona, to play across the metro area at the Mullett."The message to season-ticket holders was always ‘hockey the hard way,’ like they were going to stay in the desert.
