TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Coyotes need a temporary home ice to use while their proposed new arena and entertainment district advance through the development process. Approved by the Arizona Board of Regents on Thursday, that temporary home ice will be at Arizona State University's new multipurpose arena.
ASU's new 5,000-seat multipurpose arena will open in fall 2022 as the home for Sun Devil hockey, gymnastics and wrestling, and other events on its Tempe campus. The arena already includes two NHL regulation-size ice sheets.
Other improvements will now be made, at the Coyotes' expense, to prepare the arena to temporarily house Coyotes home games.
