It’s been exactly one year since Tempe voters rejected the Arizona Coyotes’ arena and entertainment district proposal. Since then, all of the hockey assets relocated to Utah, fans and staff were left without an active team and Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo set his sights on the June 27 land auction. In the debut episode of the PHNX Hockey Podcast, Leah Merrall and Steve Peters recap everything there is to know about the NHL’s status in Arizona, discuss what’s going on with the Tucson Roadrunners, hear from Connor Ingram on his Masterton Trophy win and chat about the NHL playoffs.

Welcome to PHNX Hockey, where we make it more fun to be a hockey fan in Arizona!
