Phoenix Suns and Mercury governor Mat Ishbia is interested in bringing an NHL team back to Arizona following the Coyotes' offseason move to Utah.
"I'm definitely going to be part of the community, and if I can help bring hockey back, I'll look at that," Ishbia told Barry M. Bloom of Sportico.
"It's definitely something I'm interested in. It's a four-sport town. I'm disappointed we don't have a hockey team, but I understand what happened, and we're going to try to fix that one day."
The Coyotes encountered much trouble finding a permanent home, to the point where they played a few seasons at Arizona State after the city of Glendale, Arizona and the Gila River Arena decided against renewing their operating agreement with the team following the 2021-22 season.
