Dryden Hunt made the drive to Arizona from Calgary late last month, and was hoping to join his new Arizona Coyotes teammates on the ice for voluntary workouts at Gila River Arena as soon as this weekend.
The former Florida Panther enjoyed the natural wonders of the Valley with some outdoor exploring while he awaited the day he can report for something other than COVID tests and a physical.
His first foray into NHL free agency saw Hunt, who just turned 25 and has 63 games of NHL regular season experience plus two postseason games over the past three seasons, approached by the Coyotes after free agency had begun.
