Hockey fans in Utah have been keeping an eye on the NHL's Coyotes. But even if the team's most recent bid to buy land for an arena fails, the franchise might still be back in Arizona next year.
Arizona Coyotes center Nick Schmaltz celebrates after his goal against the Washington Capitals with center Logan Cooley , defensemen Juuso Valimaki, second from left, and Nick Schmaltz during the first period of an NHL hockey game Monday, Dec. 4, 2023, in Tempe, Ariz.
Meruelo is currently not shopping the Coyotes, plus there are all sorts of logistics when it comes to next season’s schedule and giving players, staff and the franchise as a whole the necessary time to relocate to a different market. Asked if he’s satisfied with the process, Bettman said, “We would have preferred to be in a new arena by now. But there are certain things that couldn’t be controlled. We would have preferred the referendum in Tempe went the other way, but it didn’t. So we deal with what we can deal with. Having said that, we believe that Arizona, particularly the greater Phoenix area, is a good NHL market.”
“We are grieving with the loss of our son, brother, father, partner, teammate and friend. The entire Wawa community is sharing in our grief. We will not be releasing any further details at this time and ask for privacy during this very difficult time. We appreciate everyone who shares in our tragic loss.”Asked about the statement from the Simon family, Bettman said, “Chris’ passing is tragic, it’s sad. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends.
