Four Reasons for Coyotes Fans to be Thankful this Season

First and foremost, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from Howlin’ Hockey! Whether we gather together to celebrate with family and friends, serve others in our communities, or both, it’s also an opportunity to reflect and express gratitude. In the spirit of the holiday, here are four reasons for Coyotes fans to be thankful this season.

1. The Coyotes are still in Arizona.

With speculation growing every year over the past decade-plus, it’s easy to grow numb to relocation talk and just assume it is going to happen eventually. Quebec City, Houston, Seattle, Salt Lake City, and so on. Because of poor prior ownership, poor arena situations, poor financial stewardship, etc., the Coyotes always are tops on the list.

Thankfully the team is still in the desert where they belong, and while the situation can still be nerve-wracking at times, current ownership seems dead set on staying in Arizona. While Tempe sadly did not work out (which I believe the city will come to regret), the Mesa rumors are hot and an announcement is expected in the next couple of weeks. Ownership’s apparent commitment to Arizona, an announcement, and a rumor of a viable location in Mesa are things to definitely be grateful for.
