Longtime Coyotes fans attending Saturday night's game against the Seattle Kraken might see a new face or two greeting them at Gila River Arena.
There will be six new faces among those welcoming fans to the game, as the Coyotes have partnered with Angels for Higher, an organization that helps facilitate the hiring of individuals with Down syndrome to work as greeters at sports venues, college campuses and performing arts centers.
The Coyotes join 20 other sports teams, professional and college, and are the fourth NHL team to align with Orange County, Calif.-based Angels For Higher. The Anaheim Ducks, Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators are also on board.
