I’d like to see Biz be a minority investor in the future Arizona expansion team. The former ownership group was so out of touch with the community the Coyotes were doomed there.
I’m AZ born and started playing hockey around the old glory days of the yotes with Roenick and all them, moved away from AZ during the biz years but still always tried to watch and support the team, sucks for us, but I like the fact that the new generation will get an honest shot being on a real nhl team. I think most of us root yotes fans will root for them in Utah
Because the market they are in sucks, look at the rams since coming to LA. Same thing with the Raiders and Golden Knights. Chargers too. It’s all about money, success = money but if you have none of both nobody gonna want to come either.
@@mieshta6607 Nothing to do with the market at all has to do with not having an arena. You say look at LA well look at Salt Lake simple. Salt lake has like 1.2 million people Phoenix has 6 million people simple
Many reasons but it happened a lot in the 90s too. Two or three nhl teams relocated. Montreal expos relocated from mlb few nfl teams as well it’s nothing new. Bad ownership kills
When the citizens of Tempe AZ rejected all three proposals for a new arena in the city, the Coyotes were out of options to remain in Arizona and everyone knew a relocation was imminent. All the terrible owners they over the years had pissed off the entire city. Their arena situation from 2022 to 2024 was incredibly embarrassing. Playing in a 4,600 seat arena was simply not viable long term. Another team that can potentially leave Arizona in the foreseeable future is the D-Backs (baseball). Their ballpark Chase Field, desperately needs a major overhaul. The team’s lease on the stadium expires after the 2027 season. The organization and Maricopa County are VERY far apart in negotiations to renovate the stadium. My message to Maricopa County: You saw what happened with the Coyotes and with Oakland CA, you need to make you don’t lose a second pro sports team because that would be a total disaster. If the D-Backs leave the Phoenix area after 2027, they will have lost two franchises in a four year span. You cannot let this happen a second time.
David Portnoy, Paul Bissonnette Ryan Whitney and possibly a future HOF player from the Pittsburg Penguins have expressed interest in the new ownership group in Arizona in 2030. This will include a new arena and major corporate partnerships. Morello is already in talks with them as he is allowed to sell minority shares in the future expansion team. It’ll be announced once they win the land auction.
The sad part is these teams are poorly run and managed. They think a relocation will fix their problems. It's just putting a bandage over a bullet hole honestly. I feel for the people of Arizona
Some of you people are awful. No compassion or empathy. You're not funny. You're not smart. You don't know how it feels to lose a franchise you love with every fiber of your being. If you do somehow, then shame on you even more. I always heard "Coyotes have no fans". funny. I remember a couple years ago when the Florida Panthers had the worst attendance in the league. No one said anything about them. There's fans. I'm definitely one of them and I'm far away from Arizona. You would understand that if you actually watched one of their games or more importantly, their final game. Tyson and Todd pointed out all the stuff they did for the community and donations that were made. Arizona lost that as well. Yes, there's a market for hockey in Arizona. Just not in Tempe in a 4,600 seat college arena. They belong in Phoenix. Hopefully they come back, with an owner who gives a damn. shame on anyone who says rotten things about Arizona or their fans. Blame the owner. No matter what, Go Yotes!
It’s not so much about the market, as it was politics, the Coyotes never turned a profit, and the unscrupulous owner … 🤷🏼♀️. Why the NHL entertains Atlanta for a third go around, baffles me.
I see nothing but flak at biss but I've seen him defend the bs call against Dallas not getting a goal and now this. He seems hated for wrong reasons or reddit hive mind idiots
@@MadMikeSportsYT Nice blanket statement idiot. The fact of the matter is the embarassment of a franchise played in a colleges rink. No one needed to spread anything, the stories wrote themselves. How sad Atlanta will get another team before the NHL even considers going back to the desert
You must not know much about economics. The NHL would be foolish to not go to Phoenix. The lazy narrative is that “there’s no fans there, hockey doesn’t work in the desert, nobody cares in Phoenix”, etc etc. Phoenix area is very unique in that it’s massively spread out. The fans didn’t go mostly due to not having an accessible arena. The move to Glendale killed the team. First couple years when they were in downtown Phoenix, attendance wasn’t a problem. Plenty of fan support. All they need is an accessible arena and at least average ownership. Tickets were 3-4 times the price at mullet and they were sold out constantly. I couldn’t even get tickets to a mid week game on my last trip there from my home in Detroit. Why? Because the arena was accessible.
Good riddance to the Arizona Coyotes. This team should have left more than a decade ago. Best business decision in the teams history by letting this team to relocate to Salt Lake City. Fan support was never there in Phoenix. The rest of the fans around the league won't miss Arizona either, so feeling is mutual.
Biz was part of the problem being the posterboy for this team for so long knowing that there is no place for hockey in the desert. Shame on him. Bring back hockey to Canada!
"Dude, quit crying. They got diagnosed with cancer a while ago, the writing was on the wall for years. But now wants to act like this." See how absurd your logic is?
Bizz, I completely agree with you. As a fan for many years, so sad owners handled it this way. Gonna miss the yotes
Not a Bisonette fan but he should be commended for his gratitude and humility. Good on ya.
Thank You brother!!
I’d like to see Biz be a minority investor in the future Arizona expansion team. The former ownership group was so out of touch with the community the Coyotes were doomed there.
I heard some say Meruelo is Hispanic. Thats news to me. I just assumed it was Italian.
Hope for a solid owner whatever the background.
Shout out Jodie Jackson and Todd Walsh!!

Why are so many teams re-locating in the 2020s, Raiders, A's, Coyotes, etc
Because the market they are in sucks, look at the rams since coming to LA. Same thing with the Raiders and Golden Knights. Chargers too. It’s all about money, success = money but if you have none of both nobody gonna want to come either.
Simple
@@mieshta6607 yeah then theres Monarchas Morelia. I'm not only talking about American Sports

The move was still the right thing
Cause the wealthy owner refused to pay for a new arena and tried to force the taxpayers to do it?

LMFAO
I am sorry that the Arizona coyotes are moving

I live in Hartford, we have “The Wolfpack” now. I hear you.
All hockey players have the same accent
😂😂😂 It's a northern latitude thing. Makes me miss my Wisconsin girl.🎉🎉
@@intheshell35ify I'm from Wisconsin. The accent is something else
Hockey players always reminded me of frat boys 😂
@@Bo55world oooooooo are ya really? 😂 Just playing. Other person might be right about the frat boy thing.
@@intheshell35ify lol. Yup yup
I was just in Pheonix they had announced a new stadium on the local news. What happened? 😮
They’re moving to Utah
NHL doesn’t want to wait for a new stadium in about 3-5 years to be built after 2 years playing in a college stadium already.
@@tylerburchett2597definitely not, they should’ve done that as soon as they moved to the college arena
It’s not so much about the market, as it was politics, the Coyotes never turned a profit, and the unscrupulous owner … 🤷🏼♀️. Why the NHL entertains Atlanta for a third go around, baffles me.
How about Okla City for expansion
God no.
HOW ABOUT NO???!!!!

“I know that hockey belongs in the desert. I know that it will be back there” it won’t.
It doesn’t and let’s hope it doesn’t
There is a large fanbase for hockey here lol it will definitely be back
It would've stayed had you trolls not spread misinformation about the Tempe project.

Howllllllllllll

Hockey is in Canada you clown.
Hockey is in the desert already! VEGAS KNIGHTS, baby!!!
You know what he meant. No need to rub it in. Just be grateful you have your team and a cup.
Biz is so dramatic for everything I can't believe anything he says. Biz is just as bad as PK and should be out of a job!
Dude quit crying they had lack of fan support for awhile, the writing was on the wall for a few years. But now wants to act like this.
Whats wrong w/ being sad about the situation? The franchisee meant a lot to him. Its perfectly reasonable to react that way.
"Dude, quit crying. They got diagnosed with cancer a while ago, the writing was on the wall for years. But now wants to act like this."
See how absurd your logic is?
Thanks gary ! The worst administration on the nhl history 💩
Alex is going to bring the team back active
Bye!
