The NHL has been hit with some major news tonight regarding the Arizona Coyotes. Several sources have released news that the Coyotes will indeed be relocating to Salt Lake City, Utah next season.
The news comes first from Elliotte Friedman who had been close to the situation all season. He confirms that the team was told today the move is happening and personnel could start moving as soon as the season ends.
There is word tonight the Arizona Coyotes players were informed in a meeting they are going to Utah. Players and staff may be headed to Salt Lake City right after Wednesday's game to check out the facilities and the city
Another source Craig Morgan believes an official announcement will be made by the team on April 17th the day of the Coyotes' last home game in Arizona.
Per multiple sources, the Coyotes have been informed that relocation to Salt Lake City is real. Now hearing it could actually be announced on April 17; the date of the Coyotes' final game at home vs. Edmonton. It's going to be quite an atmosphere that night at Mullett Arena
This is a sad say for Coyotes fans who will now lose their franchise due to ownership's inability to secure a new arena. Hopefully for the NHL and the franchise their move to Utah will be successful and bring stability.
