You’ve probably heard that this season is the last for the Arizona Coyotes in their long-time home, the Gila River Arena. Their lease with the city of Glendale is over, and thanks to the team being one of the least stable tenants in the NHL, they’re having to move to Arizona State University’s 5000 seat arena.
While absolutely not a knock on ASU’s excellent Sun Devil hockey program (or the fact that a hockey team in Arizona has a 5000 seat arena, which is in and of itself impressive), this is the most absurd story in a very absurd league.
