According to the City of Glendale manager, Kevin Phelps the Arizona Coyotes will need to find a new home after the 2021-22 season. They have opted to not renew their lease for the publicly owned Gila River Arena.
The two parties operate on a year by year agreement and the city of Glendale informed the club Thursday of their plans. The Coyotes have to vacate the arena by June 30, 2022.
