Arizona Coyotes President and CEO Anthony LeBlanc announced recently that the team has hired Mitchell Ziets, CEO of Tipping Point Sports, LLC, as an arena consultant. Mr. Ziets has an established history of advising teams and public entities on new or renovated stadiums. This adds fuel to the fire that the team is seriously done with the City of Glendale, (gee… I wonder why) and is researching its options to play in another venue once the present lease is expired.
According to David Pagnotta (thefourthperiod.com, @TheFourthPeriod) Editor–in-Chief of Hockey’s Lifestyle Magazine, the location getting some attention now is the area near the Talking Stick Resort in the Tempe/Scottsdale vicinity.
