The Coyotes will reportedly stay in Arizona and play at ASU's Mullett Arena in 2023-24 following some devastating news for the franchise and its fanbase on Tuesday.
Speculation that the team would have to relocate immediately ran rampant in the moments and hours after a $2.1 billion entertainment district — including a brand new rink for the Coyotes — in Tempe was rejected by voters, with over 56% of respondents from the Phoenix suburb voting "no" on three propositions needed for approval.
However, on Wednesday, deputy commissioner Bill Daly told ESPN's Greg Wyshynski he doesn't "envision a scenario in which the Coyotes are not playing in Mullett Arena next season," with Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman confirming the report.
