The Arizona Coyotes will remain in Arizona for next season
Elliotte Friedman: Arizona Coyotes letter to season ticket holders yesterday.
“To our Pack,
While we are very disappointed Tempe voters did not approve the proposed Entertainment District, we want to thank all our loyal fans who supported the Coyotes over the years. Your loyalty is what makes our Pack strong.
During the 2023-24 season, the Arizona Coyotes will play at Mullett Arena. In addition, we remain committed to Arizona and have already started re-engaging with local officials and sites to solidify a new permanent home in the Valley.
We look forward to sharing more with you in the coming weeks.
Sincerely,
Xavier A. Gutierrez
President & Chief Executive Officer”
Andy Strickland: Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo “Our plan is to stay in Arizona”
Craig Morgan: “Slow the talk of relocation period. I did not expect to say this today, but I am now hearing that there is still a path forward for the Coyotes in Arizona. The saga continues…”
