Coyotes Bid Farewell to Arizona

Farewell Mullett Arena

The Arizona Coyotes will bid farewell to Arizona State University's Mullett Arena on Wednesday, marking a bittersweet end to their second consecutive season in Tempe.

A Decade of Struggle

The Coyotes' move to Mullett Arena was a temporary solution after their former home, Gila River Arena in Glendale, was deemed inadequate for an NHL team. The Coyotes have been searching for a new permanent arena for over a decade, but plans have repeatedly fallen through.

Salt Lake City Bound

With no long-term arena solution in Arizona, the Coyotes have opted to relocate to Salt Lake City, Utah. The team will play at Vivint Arena starting in the 2024-25 season.

Saying Goodbye

Wednesday's game will be an emotional goodbye for the Coyotes and their fans. The team has been a part of the Arizona hockey landscape for nearly 30 years, and their departure will be a significant loss.

A New Era in Utah

While the Coyotes' departure from Arizona is a bittersweet moment, it also marks the beginning of a new era for the team. Salt Lake City has a large hockey fan base and a modern arena, providing the Coyotes with the stability and support they have long sought.
