The biggest problem the Coyotes faced was the unseeble enemy of logistics. It's a pain in the butt to get around the Phoenix area even with the loops, not to mention trying to bring fans from the neighbors' cities of Tucson and Flagstaff. They faced an uphill battle ever since they moved to the desert. I was so happy when the AHL team moved to Tucson. It sucks now that everyone is leaving.

This team died in 2003 when it was moved to Glendale.

I'm heart broken about this. The hockey community is awesome, the Coyotes leaving is a massive loss!

I’m a Michigander and natural Red Wings fan, but the Coyotes have always been my second favorite team to root for. I hope they get to come back soon…maybe under new and better ownership.

This team will be greatly missed. Alex Meruelo WON'T! Salt Lake City will be getting the best part. Fans here STILL HAVE WORK TO DO TO GET A QUALITY OWNER HERE. WHAT WE HAD ISN'T THE ANSWER. THE MAN HAS NO RESPECT FOR THE FAN OR CONSCIENCE.

In the 7th game of that 1999 playoff against St. Louis, Jeremy Roenick - imperial forces mask and all - played twice the game that Keith Tkajerk did. The fact that Phoenix blew that series the way they did was proof that the playoff curse of the Winnipeg Jets was alive and well.

We the fans will miss our team greatly

The only massive fails the NHL made since the Wayne Gretzky trade in 1988: Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes after leaving downtown Phoenix for suburban Glendale and the Atlanta Thrashers.

What rafters ?

Our jets will fly 4 ever

This is truly a tragedy. It’s proof that the NHL is not ready for expansion. They can’t support the teams they have. If hockey ever decides to return to the valley, the Murelo family should never be allowed to have anything to do with it. They don’t have deep enough pockets or commitment to success. Next, please!

Nice thumbnail. Hartford Coyotes?

When the team left downtown Phoenix that was the start of the down fall of the team Glendale wasn’t a good move at all

Now the coyotes will become either the Utah or Saltlake city Mormons;).

I cant feel sad for this as I was a fan of the original jets....but really you need to think about this is the franchise cursed first jets now coyotes will happen in Utah

The Coyotes will thrive in Utah. It’s more of a hockey State.

Arizonans are getting the hockey team they deserve. Lol

Why couldn't ownership just build a new arena in Arizona?

Real hockey players don't wear gold chains especially during a game. No wonder they couldn't win.

Bye Bye See Ya!!!!!!! Send them to Canada, hockey is their game after all

If now just the rest of the idiots left the 110 weather.

Roflmfao 3 decades of emtpy seats when you actually had an arena, hilarious how not one of you cared when they llayed and which is why they no longer have a team and yet you all decided to cry about them on the last day? Roflmfao and wtf? 😂😂😂

The whole state is sinking
