The Arizona Coyotes have been plagued by a string of misfortunes that have left fans and analysts wondering if any other NHL franchise has ever been more cursed. Despite their best efforts, the team has struggled to achieve success on the ice, and off the ice, their problems seem to be mounting.
Just a few days ago, a part owner of the Coyotes was arrested and charged with felony strangulation, which only added to the negative attention surrounding the team. But this is just the latest in a series of setbacks that the Coyotes have faced.
One of the most pressing issues facing the team is the potential relocation of their arena. The franchise has been working hard to secure a new arena deal, but recent developments have cast doubt on their future in Arizona. Specifically, the City of Phoenix has filed a lawsuit against the City of Tempe over the rezoning of the potential arena space, which could derail the Coyotes' plans for a new home.
This turn of events comes at a time when the Coyotes are already facing financial challenges. The team has struggled to attract fans and generate revenue, which has led to rumors of a potential move to a new market. While the Coyotes remain committed to Arizona for now, their future is uncertain, and fans are understandably concerned about the long-term viability of the franchise.
Despite these challenges, the Coyotes remain committed to their fans and to the game of hockey. They are working hard to overcome their struggles and build a winning team both on and off the ice. It remains to be seen what the future holds for the team, but one thing is clear: the Coyotes are facing an uphill battle, and it will take a lot of hard work and determination to turn things around.
The city of Phoenix is suing Tempe for development that includes the #Coyotes new arena.
The formal complaint in Maricopa County Superior Court has Phoenix, the owners and operators of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, suing Tempe for a breach of contract, "asking the court to rescind Tempe's recent zoning and land use changes and prohibit future residential uses in an area that the Federal Aviation Administration says is incompatible with residential development."
