I'm an Arizona boy, born and raised.
I bleed Coyote red and I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror if I supported the team in the city that took the Coyotes.
I wish the players luck, but I'm not supporting the team.

1. There is no hockey rink in Glendale. Desert Diamond Arena is not hockey compatible.
2. Meruelo doesn't own Westgate. Wanting his own entertainment district gives him more money. Said money will keep the team stable
3. NE Phoenix is a better location.
Do you now understand?
in Glendale, Arizona, there is a hockey rink just a mere 500 feet away from a football stadium, filled with parking, bars, a hospital, a casino, and major roads to get there

I'll offer clarification.
I do not think supporting individual players is an issue, I'm still a Conor Garland fan, for example.
I'm talking about supporting the team in Salt Lake.
I don't blame Jets fans for not being Coyotes fans.
I'm an Arizona fan, not a Salt Lake fan.

Embarrassing at this point to see "professionals" complaining about Mullett Arena 2 years in.
Yes Iain, the student section is bleacher seating. They're temporarily playing in a college arena.
You feel sorry for Arizona hockey fans? I doubt it because you're adding to the shite
Seeing Mullett Arena for the first time reinforces what a disgrace this is for the NHL. That’s bleacher seating. There are real hockey fans here in the desert, and I feel sorry for them. And Tempe seems like a cool place. Beautiful campus. But honestly, enough is enough. Uncle.
