Coyotes relocation happening: Formal announcement's date revealed
The Coyotes have been the NHL's talk of the hour for at least a few days now. Since the news broke out that relocation was officially in the cards for the NHL's upcoming season, the Coyotes have gone on a wild winning spree beating the Canucks and the Oilers during that time.
Per the latest update from the various NHL insiders, not only have they stated that the information was accurate, but they also noted that the players had been made aware of it and that the expected date of announcement April 17th:
�'Per multiple sources, the Coyotes have been informed that relocation to Salt Lake City is actual.
I'm now hearing it could actually be announced on April 17, the date of the Coyotes' final home game against Edmonton.
It's going to be quite an atmosphere that night at Mullett Arena.
It has now reached the point where the NHL's biggest media have shared the news as being official; ESPN and TSN have shared the news:
Arizona Coyotes players have been informed that the team is relocating to Utah, per @espn/@emilymkaplan
The team will begin playing there next season.
Seeing the Coyotes finally move out of their 5000 people Arena will be a shock. Despite the NHL's efforts to make it happen, the owners couldn't keep the team in the desert.
