Phoenix Coyotes Tickets Information
Phoenix Coyotes
The Phoenix Coyotes are a professional men's ice hockey team based in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Coyotes became the first team in NHL history to post 90 points.
The Coyotes are the relocated franchise of the former Winnipeg Jets, moving to Phoenix in 1996. The team has had its struggles, first moving to an arena unsuitable for hockey, the only one in the area before building their own, (Jobing.com Arena). The team has had several ownership changes from original owners Steven Gluckstern and Richard Burke, to a partnership of Steve Ellman and Wayne Gretzky in 2001, and a partnership of Gretzky and Jerry Moyes since 2006. The team has not had much success on the ice, not progressing past the first round of the NHL playoffs.
The team began play as the Winnipeg Jets, one of the founding franchises in the World Hockey Association (WHA). The Jets were the most successful team in the short-lived WHA, winning three Avco World Trophies, the league's championship trophy, and making the finals five out of the WHA's seven seasons. It then became one of the four teams admitted to the NHL when the rival leagues merged in 1979.
The team was sold to Phoenix businessmen Steven Gluckstern and Richard Burke, and in 1996, the club moved to Arizona and became the Phoenix Coyotes.
In the summer that the move took place, the franchise saw the exit of Jets stars like Teemu Selanne and Alexei Zhamnov, while the team added established superstar Jeremy Roenick from the Chicago Blackhawks.
Another key addition to the squad was fleet sniper Mike Gartner, who had come over from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Despite his speed, and scoring his 700th career goal on December 15, 1997, Gartner battled injuries as 1997 became 1998, and the Coyotes did not renew his contract. He retired at the end of the season.
After arriving in Phoenix, the team posted six consecutive .500 or better seasons, making the playoffs in every year but one. They were tremendously popular, in part due to the large number of Northern expatriates in the Phoenix area.
On 6 August 2005, Brett Hull, son of former Jet Bobby Hull, was signed and assigned the elder Hull's retired # 9. Two days later, they introduced Gretzky as its new head coach, replacing Rick Bowness, despite the fact that he had never coached at any level of hockey. The Coyotes Ring of Honor was unveiled on 8 October, inducting Gretzky and Bobby Hull. One week later, Brett Hull announced his retirement.
On 21 January 2006, Jets great Thomas Steen was the third one to be inducted to the Ring of Honor. On 13 April, Steve Ellman announced an agreement for Jerry Moyes to assume majority ownership control of the Coyotes, Glendale Arena and the National Lacrosse League's Arizona Sting. Also in the 2005-06 season, the Coyotes were planning to host the NHL all-star game. Due to the Olympics, that was canceled.
The team returned to Winnipeg on 17 September, 2006 to play a pre-season game against the Edmonton Oilers, but were shut-out 5-0 before a sellout crowd of 15,015.
