The Arizona Coyotes are getting set to take the ice. Finally, hockey is almost here!

Here’s the Yotes’ press release with the details:
"Arizona Coyotes General Manager John Chayka announced today the dates for the Coyotes 2016 Rookie and Veterans training camps at Gila River Arena."
"The Coyotes rookies will report on Friday, Sept. 16 and will participate in their first on-ice practice session on Saturday, Sept. 17 at Gila River Arena.
