Downtown Phoenix is one step closer to hosting a hockey team once again.
City council-members approved $75,000 for Barrett Sports Group to evaluate Talking Stick Resort Arena in downtown Phoenix and determine what it would look like to host a hockey team there.
Councilman Michael Nowakowski brought up the idea of moving the Coyotes to downtown Phoenix at the Feb. 15 city council meeting.
He said he wants the consulting group to see what it would cost to move a hockey team downtown, including remodeling and updating the arena.
But not everyone, such as Councilman Jim Waring, was on board with the idea.
