The Glendale City Council voted Wednesday evening to terminate its arena lease agreement with the Arizona Coyotes, which may leave the NHL franchise without a home heading into the 2015-16 season.
"We are disappointed with the city's decision to violate its obligations under the agreement that was entered into and duly approved only two years ago," Coyotes co-owner Anthony LeBlanc said in a statement. "We will exhaust any and all legal remedies against the city of Glendale for this blatant violation of its contractual obligations to us."
The team announced that they had filed a restraining order against the city of Glendale on June 12:
The Arizona Coyotes have acted to defend their rights and reaffirm their continuing commitment to their great fans by seeking a restraining order to stop the City of Glendale's baseless attack on, and improper attempt to void, the Coyotes' lawful and proper lease to play at Gila River Arena.
