It has been in the news that coyotes were very much sure of their settling in Tempe, Arizona after Glendale. But after the voters rejected the NHL team’s proposal to build a $2.1-billion arena and entertainment district, the fate again is uncertain now. The Arizona Coyotes were confident this time as more than two decades of instability were coming to a close. The team was shocked by the decision of the voters and is in a dilemma now.
Coyotes Face More Instability With Voters
After the shocking rejection, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. “We are going to review with the Coyotes what the options might be going forward.” Reports are telling us that Coyotes have said that they will play in Mullett Arena next season, but it is not a long-term option because it is a small arena and is not up to NHL standards. It’s just a temporary solution as Mullett Arena is a small 5,000-seat building. Searching for a permanent solution, the coyotes are still like nomads till now and are desperately trying to settle down in a new arena.
The team is considering all the options whether it may be Portland, Oregon, Houston, Kansas City or Salt lake city as it is rumoring. The fans and followers are keeping an eye on the NHL decision about the Arizona Coyotes. Some rumors are indicating that they may head towards Ontario in Canada. In a recent podcast, however, hockey analyst Elliotte Friedman shared about the dedication of coyotes towards the Arizona Market. He emphasized the importance of the Arizona Market and highlighted the state as the largest metropolitan city in the USA. He strongly believed that NHL would not leave Arizona and will try the best option in the state. Let’s see where fate takes the Coyotes. Stay tuned.
