The pandemic limited what the Arizona Coyotes had hoped to do with fan giveaways last season, but when given a full season to be creative, the Coyotes turned to creatives.
Tuesday night is the first of three hat giveaways, labeled the Local Artist Hat Trick Series, with two others schedueld for April 1 and April 23. The team will hand out caps designed by three artists with large followings, each a woman based locally. It's a way to connect to non-traditional hockey communities and also to celebrate gender equality and women in hockey, the area's Mexican, Indigenous and Chicano communities, and Black history in life and hockey.
