Just move the Arizona Coyotes to Hamilton already!

On May 5, 2009, Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes filed for bankruptcy, and agreed to sell the team to Blackberry magnate Jim Balsillie for $212.5 million. Balsillie wanted to move the team to Hamilton, but the NHL balked. They fought him and won. After years of turmoil, they finally secured a new owner to bring stability to the franchise (at least for five years) at the end of 2014.

Except it didn’t.

Yesterday, the delightful comedy troupe also known as Glendale city council (Mayor pictured here) decided they preferred the turmoil better.
