The NHL has officially left Arizona
Fans turned out for the Coyotes, incompetent and embarrassing ownership didn'tIce lasted longer in the desert than it probably should have. Hope the franchise gets the love and care it deserves now.
Yeah when you have ownership that can't even be bothered to pay their hotel bills it's a little crazy that they own a team to begin with.Fans turned out for the Coyotes, incompetent and embarrassing ownership didn't
Smith said "Utah" will be on the front of the jerseys next season. The team will take its time to determine its name, logos and colors.
"It will 100 percent be 'Utah,' and then it will be 'Utah Something,' obviously," he said. "I don't think given this timeline that we're going to have time -- or nor should we rush with everything else that's going on -- to go force what that is in the next three months."
Didn't intend to undercut the fans. I specifically meant ownershipFans turned out for the Coyotes, incompetent and embarrassing ownership didn't
Get ready for some of the ugliest jerseys you'll see in a long time‘Utah’s ready for a team,’ new owner says | NHL.com
Discusses name of team, arena renovations before 2024-25 season with NHL.comwww.nhl.com
The Utah Latter-day Saints is right there.
Isn't the backup plan if Murelo fucks off, he's not getting back the NHL board? And maybe an actual fucking owner steps up?That relies on Meruelo returning the $1B USD he just got so... Don't count on it

Ishbia was in the running but that was pre Suns sale. And before Murelo locked them up.
Nothing in Utah could come close to the jersey they're replacing, the Kachina.
The funnier part was our then CW affiliate broke away from showing CW content to show Yotes games and now lol.
I know they are in the running for DBacks to fill the hole though.
Has anyone besides Meruelo vocalized a desire to own an Arizona NHL franchise?
Shocked they're not just stealing another state's aesthetics and name. As a Coyotes fan, I'm shattered. I've never understood people who burn jerseys and merch, but mine is going into the firepit this weekend. Becoming a Kraken fan now. May Utah never experience any happiness with this franchise.

Ryan Smith now owns 3 Utah based sports teams lol
It's like he is collecting Pokemon cards.
Don't burn your jerseys, sell them and buy a Kraken jersey.Shocked they're not just stealing another state's aesthetics and name. As a Coyotes fan, I'm shattered.

Nah, not getting rid of mine, it's a good totem.Shocked they're not just stealing another state's aesthetics and name. As a Coyotes fan, I'm shattered.

I'm gonna laugh if the team comes back via Ishibia and some others like the portals scene from Endgame and suddenly buy the Tempe dump.This going to be a Washington Football Team situation then I guess.
Sad for the fans in Arizona but they have deserved far better from the Coyotes ownership group for a long time.

Has to give the billion back if he wants a team thoughMeruelo got $1 billion dollars and still keep the Coyotes name and record ...
Which will be funny considering he's a billionaire
Yup. The Thrashers became a red-headed stepchild to the Hawks once the Atlanta Spirit ownership group took over. That combined with zero playoff wins in over a decade of existence was a bad combination.
Thrashers really got fucked over hard.Yup. The Thrashers became a red-headed stepchild to the Hawks once the Atlanta Spirit ownership group took over. That combined with zero playoff wins in over a decade of existence was a bad combination.
People will make jokes about Atlanta getting a 3rd chance at an NHL team, but seeing how much this city has grown over the past decade and seeing how well it's supported Atlanta United, I have little doubt in my mind that they would support an NHL team now, as long as the ownership group is bare minimum competent.
Toronto will get a second team with time, and Quebec is going to struggle due to the lack of corporate sponsors, but it's a hurdle that can be overcome.Love how Canada gets screwed over the table non stop esp for a sport like HOCKEY. Toronto should be allowed to get a second team (Leafs shouldn't have final say) same with Quebec. Not a sports fan, just like wrestling it's not my thing anymore but still.
why would the arena development get approved if theres no team anymore?If the arena development gets approved in Arizona this July, they will return. (As expansion)
Stinks ownership sucks ass.

I still remember the days where RIM was so close to getting a team and talk was Hamilton/KW or Mississauga. They could have been Apple and now they are dust. Whenever i walk around Waterloo, I still am shocked at all the buildings that they once had and the University that is no more.
It's more than just an arena, it's an overall land deal including a casino and shopping.
There's no casino. Maybe a sportsbook, but that's it. Meruelo has a sports betting license but has essentially wasted it so far. The tribes have rights to casino gaming in AZ and it's not tribal land.
Don't throw Provo's evil on us
