Coyotes 'committed to Arizona' after failed Tempe arena vote, to play at ASU next season

Relocation speculation is swirling around the Arizona Coyotes after Tempe voters rejected a new arena for the team in an election on Tuesday.

The Coyotes attempted to quiet some of that speculation with a letter to season ticket holders on Wednesday.

The letter, written by President and Chief Executive Officer Xavier A. Gutierrez, said that the team was still committed to Arizona after the disappointing election result for the NHL franchise.

Tempe voters shot down Propositions 301, 302 and 303 in the election, dealing a major blow to the future of the franchise in Arizona.
