Needless to say, Coyotes fans aren’t happy.
It’s not officially official as of yet, but it 99.9% looks like the Arizona Coyotes franchise will be relocating to Salt Lake City starting in the 2024-25 campaign. And as I’m sure you can understand, Arizona fans are livid about it.
Based on everything that we’ve seen up until this point, it’s pretty clear what’s going on, and it’s been an ugly divorce. This whole thing stemmed from the Coyotes having a hard time finding an arena to play in. In fact, it was such a struggle that the team even got stuck playing in Mullett Arena — the home of the Arizona State Sun Devils. Yes, the college.

So with that being said, despite the game Wednesday night against the Edmonton Oilers being completely meaningless, ‘Yotes fans were full of emotion. So much so, they made it perfectly clear to the franchise how they felt about them moving to Salt Lake City.
“Salt Lake sucks! Salt Lake sucks! Salt Lake sucks!”
Oh, yeah … things got real.
