The Arizona Coyotes are on the move! According to their general manager, Bill Armstrong, relocating the team out of Phoenix is a real possibility. This revelation comes amidst a flurry of speculations about a potential shift to Salt Lake City for the upcoming 2024-25 NHL season.
Recent reports have hinted at the Coyotes' possible move, but details have remained under wraps. The Athletic disclosed that the NHL's board of governors received a status-report memo on Wednesday, indicating that preparations are underway to have the Coyotes ready in Utah by next season.
Armstrong made the announcement during a team meeting in Alberta, Canada, before the Coyotes faced the Edmonton Oilers. The team secured a thrilling 3-2 overtime victory, but remained tight-lipped with players unavailable for post-game interviews.
This potential relocation could have significant implications for fans, the local economy, and the dynamic landscape of the NHL. As the situation develops, supporters of the Coyotes and Salt Lake City alike are eagerly awaiting more concrete details.
