Hockey still has a ways to go before it catches on as a popular sport with the Latino community in greater Phoenix. Xavier Gutierrez and Vinnie Hinostroza took one step to try to change that Wednesday afternoon in west Phoenix.
Gutierrez, president and CEO of the Coyotes, met with staff and children at the Chicanos Por La Causa Community Center, continuing the team's outreach to the Latino community that has become more a part of its mission since Gutierrez was hired in June.
Hinostroza, a Coyotes forward and one of a handful of players in the league with Latino heritage, helped with a short skills clinics for the children who go to the community center for remote learning.
