BREAKING: Gary Bettman Reveals The Arizona Coyotes New Location?
The Arizona Coyotes have faced a tumultuous season, marked by setbacks such as losing the Tempe vote and a star player losing faith in the franchise.
Despite these challenges, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman remains optimistic about hockey in the desert, focusing on options in the Phoenix area rather than the successful Vegas model.
Bettman says the Arizona Coyotes are studying options in the Phoenix area
Arizona Coyotes are exploring other options in greater Phoenix area, says Bettman. Hope is that one of those options works out.
Bettman's stance raises questions about whether the Coyotes truly deserve another chance at relocation, considering their history of missteps. It appears that the NHL and its supporters, despite financing the franchise, are open to exploring new opportunities.
However, the key issue lies in whether the people in the desert are genuinely interested in hockey. Playing in a college arena may not be sufficient to sustain NHL revenue and adequately compensate players. This leads to discussions about potential relocation destinations, with Houston and Quebec being proposed as potentially better alternatives than Phoenix.
