A lot of people are going to benefit from the Coyotes putting their AHL affiliate in Tucson
There’s no denying it anymore. The game of ice hockey is growing in Arizona at a rapid pace. Two of the first six picks in this year’s NHL Draft grew up in Scottsdale. Arizona State is successfully making the transition to the NCAA D-1 level. And the Arizona Coyotes have already set a location for a new arena in the Phoenix area.
Now we have a professional team in Tucson, as the Coyotes have relocated their AHL affiliate to the Tucson Convention Center.
