For the first time in nearly three decades, Arizona is not gearing up for hockey season. At the end of the 2023-2024 season, the Arizona Coyotes announced their relocation to Salt Lake City, Utah, ending professional hockey in the state.
This wasn't the first time the Coyotes had dealt with ownership instability or rumors of relocation. The team has been riddled with complications since they arrived in 1997.
So why was this the time that it actually happened?
This week on Valley 101, a podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, we sit down Craig Morgan, a senior writer for PHNX Sports and All City Network, who broke the story of the Coyotes' relocating to Utah.
