It looks as though the answers are finally becoming clear about he future of the Arizona Coyotes.
ABC 15 KNXV-TV reports Coyotes co-owner CEO and president Anthony LeBlanc said the team is “in very progressed talks with the city of Phoenix” about the creation of a joint arena with the Phoenix Suns.
Meanwhile, NHL.com’s Dan Rosen wrote, “LeBlanc said a move back to downtown Phoenix or to the East Valley, potentially Tempe, where Arizona State is located, would be ‘positive across the board’ for the Coyotes in terms of ticket sales, merchandise and the overall marketing and interest of the team.”
LeBlanc spoke to a “tight alliance with Arizona State University,” since the NCAA-level university hockey team is playing several home games at Glendale’s Gila River Arena. ,.
