So, someone finally put a stake through the vampire that was formally known as the Coyotes! All the stories that could have been and were told filled 236 "pages" on this forum. We can shovel 6 feet of dirt on the Yotes coffin and declare it dead. Or not, as someone else will have a say or two about itπ΅. In two more weeks lol Please not. Cheers, 2b9πππ

Yeah, a lot has been said about this soap but even the Guiding Light had to come to an end eventually. Well if people still want to talk about it until the reboot, doesn't bother me!

Suns owner Mat Ishbia wants to bring NHL back to PhoenixPhoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia has his sights set on bringing hockey back to Arizona, Sportico reported Wednesday. Arizona is now without an NHL team after the Coyotes relocated to Salt Lake City following the 2023-24 campaign. The franchise will have a new name come the 2025-26 season, but when it plays games this year, it will be known as the Utah Hockey Club. "I'm definitely going to be part of the community, and if I can help bring hockey back, I'll look at that," Ishbia told Sportico. "It's definitely something I'm interested in. It's a four-sport town. I'm disappointed we don't have a hockey team, but I understand what happened, and we're going to try to fix that one day."Ishbia, 44, also owns the Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA. Footprint Center, home of the Mercury, hosted the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday. There is also a new $100 million women's practice facility, which Ishbia funded, behind the arena. "I think our arena is first-class right now. I love our arena," Ishbia said about Footprint Center. "But at some point we're going to have to get a new arena."The Coyotes played games at 5,000-seat Mullett Arena on Arizona State's campus in Tempe, Arizona, from 2022 to 2024. According to Sportico's report, Ishbia did not reveal if he was in talks with the NHL, and the league also stayed quiet. Should hockey end up coming back to Arizona, Ishbia would have the new arena built in downtown Phoenix. Former Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo sold the club for $1.2 billion. www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/40635494/suns-owner-ishbia-interested-bringing-nhl-back-phoenix

This is by far the best news in Arizona hockey history. A real owner is interested in owning an NHL team with a real downtown Phoenix arena.

A good negotiating point with the city when they look for a new arena. Two tenants is better than one They had an NHL team right in town that he could have bought. Why pay exorbitant expansion fees for a new team instead of buying the coyotes?

A good negotiating point with the city when they look for a new arena. Two tenants is better than one They had an NHL team right in town that he could have bought. Why pay exorbitant expansion fees for a new team instead of buying the coyotes? Because the Suns just finished a $235M renovation to their current arena(under the last ownership) in 2021 and $150M of that was paid with public $$$. The lease was extended through the 2036-37 season. The NHL returning isn't a 2020's thing its a 2030's thing for the Suns owner.
