A Scottsdale public relations firm says the team owes nearly a quarter of a million dollars
IceArizona hired Rose+Moser+Allyn Public & Online Relations to help defeat a 2013 referendum attempt
The agreement required IceArizona to pay the firm, which is owned by the public relations firm, about $250,000 if the referendum initiative was defeated, according to the filing with the Maricopa County Superior Court
A spokesman for the Coyotes called the lawsuit a “quarter-million-dollar scheme,” asserting that the agreement to sponsor the referendum was an investment that would continue only if the Coyotes benefited from the sponsorship.
