The COYOTES are staying in Glendale, AZ! That is the best news ever!! Thank you Judge
Baum for that great decision. I am looking forward to celebrating with the Coyotes Fans. I do feel bad for the Canadian fans, that hoped to get a team in Hamilton. Having your own NHL team is the best feeling in the world. Hockey RULES and so do YOTES fans!!

Hundreds of loyal Phoenix Coyotes fans braved the sweltering heat Saturday in Glendale to rally in support of the franchise and its desert home.
Spilling out to the parking lot, a crowd of 500 packed Native New Yorker voicing support for the hockey club and contempt for Jim Balsillie, CEO of BlackBerry maker Research in Motion, who offered to purchase the Coyotes for $213 million after the team filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization May 5. He would move the franchise to Canada.
The event, organized by the Save the Coyotes Coalition and SaveTheCoyotes.com, encouraged fans from across town to band together to show their passion and pride for the team.
“We were very pleased with the strong turnout,” said Save The Coyotes Coalition spokesperson Greg Esposito. “Five hundred loud and proud Coyotes fans came out on short notice to let their voice be heard.” continued
Please, join the Phoenix Coyotes fans and support our NHL team in Arizona!
