The Coyotes' troubled tenure in Arizona has come down to 1 last game before an expected move to Utah

TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Coyotes dubbed Mullett Arena “The Party Barn” for its raucous, closed-quarters atmosphere.

“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.” The billionaire developer finally ran out of cards to play when the NHL and the players association pushed back on plans to continue playing at 5,000-seat Mullett Arena, which was built for the Arizona State University hockey team, while he worked to secure a permanent home. Meruelo and the Coyotes have a line on a tract of land for a multibillion-dollar project in north Phoenix that would include a new arena, but delays pushed the auction for it into June.

A small flicker of light at the end of the tunnel for Coyotes fans, but the reality is there will be no hockey team in Arizona for at least the next several years.
