NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman recently addressed the media in Phoenix and Salt Lake City regarding the relocation of the Arizona Coyotes to Utah. The franchise, which had been based in Arizona for 27 years, faced challenges that ultimately led to its move.
Bettman expressed the NHL's longstanding support for hockey in Arizona, emphasizing the league's commitment to the region over the past three decades. Despite the Coyotes' history in the desert, certain circumstances necessitated a change in location.
