The Top Teams For The Coyotes Relocation Revealed

Today Kevin Weekes took to X to talk about NHL relocation. In particular, he mentioned a few cities that could be considered top contenders for the Arizona Coyotes potential move. Weekes listed 7 potential locations that have expressed potential interest in a team in the future.

Weekes provides several cities that were already on NHL fans' radar for relocation along with a couple of new ideas. Quebec City, Salt Lake City, Houston, and Atlanta have all previously been mentioned.

Other cities like Portland, San Diego, and another team in Toronto are all newly mentioned. While many fans have suggested these options it is the first we are hearing of interest from the city themselves.

After announcing these interested teams Kevin Weekes dropped another bomb. He mentioned that a frontrunner from the previously mentioned group has emerged. Weekes says that the South Forsyth (Atlanta) group has gained state approval to start development of a stadium.

This is a big step for the Atlanta group as a new stadium was absolutely needed if their bid was to be considered. With the state's approval, they can begin implementing their plans. Once a stadium is near completion the relocation or expansion talks will likely begin to heat up more.

For now, relocation or expansion likely is far off in the distance. Hearing of these rumors and potential new markets will always be fun though.
