Coyotes winger Anthony Duclair sorts through the mail that arrives in his locker stall usually once a month, and the contents of the envelopes are typically the same.
Fans wish him good luck, ask for hockey advice or request an autograph on the card they’ve included in the letter.
But Duclair’s most memorable message was a marriage proposal hand-delivered last month by a young girl, who stopped him before he left the Ice Den in Scottsdale following a skate.
“That was a special one,” Duclair said. “I was not expecting that.”
The Coyotes’ season wraps after just two more home games, Thursday against the Canucks and then a Saturday visit from the Wild, but before players scatter for the summer, many will read the fan mail they’ve accumulated at Gila River Arena.
