Arizona Dealt Some Bad News After Potential NHL City Announces Arena Renovations

This announcement from a potential NHL City is bad news for the City of Arizona as the pressure for relocation mounts.

Recent announcements have indicated that the Toyota Center in Houston is undergoing a renovation, one which would see the arena restoring its icemaking ability, making it ready for an NHL franchise.

Of note: The renovation underway at Houston's Toyota Center will include the installation of ice-making equipment that will ensure the building can ultimately be NHL-ready.

With so many Cities in the U.S. looking to add an NHL franchise to their coffer, it's hard to continue to justify a team in Arizona. They have been unable to build an NHL-caliber arena for their team, which only adds to their struggles as a franchise.

If Arizona doesn't make some announcements soon regarding a new arena or a strategy to increase attendance, they are at serious risk of losing their team.
