Coyotes facing council vote on arena lease agreement (The Associated Press)

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- The City of Glendale has called for a special meeting on Wednesday to determine whether to end an arena lease agreement with the Arizona Coyotes, further clouding the team's future in the desert.

The meeting agenda calls for the city council to consider whether to cancel the professional services and arena lease agreement between Glendale and IceArizona, which co-owns the Coyotes with Andrew Barroway.

Some council members have said the Coyotes breached the contract by using money from the city as part of the lease agreement to pay down debt incurred when IceArizona bought the team in 2013.
