Actually the Coyotes never moved to Scottsdale. They moved from sharing an arena downtown with the Suns to Glendale on the far west side. Most of the fan-base is in East valley and Scottsdale. The original proposal to build an arena in old town south Scottsdale probably would have been great for the team and fans. Maybe not so much for taxpayers. One of my favorite hockey games ever was watching Jeremy Roenick skate with the police and fireman beer league during the NHL lockout. I heard a rumor he would be at a local rink about 11:30 PM to skate. Maybe there were 30 people watching. He didn’t take any shots that I remember but those players had great memories receiving perfect passes in front of the net.
Yep, brain fart. Wrong ‘dale came out. Thanks.
