"Arizona Coyotes' Pursuit of New Phoenix Arena Draws NHL's Attention"
The NHL is closely monitoring the Arizona Coyotes' pursuit of land for a new arena in Phoenix, with owner Alex Meruelo working on acquiring the best location for the project. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly indicated that if the Coyotes don't win the auction for the land, there may not be enough time to relocate the team before the start of next season. Despite setbacks, the NHL remains committed to the greater Phoenix area as a good market for hockey.
