Description
Available in:

The Arizona Coyotes are a professional ice hockey team based in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona. They compete in the National Hockey League's (NHL) Pacific Division of the Western Conference.

Since December 2003, the Coyotes have played their home games at Gila River Arena after having spent the previous 7½ seasons at America West Arena (now Talking Stick Resort Arena) in downtown Phoenix.

The Coyotes were founded on December 27, 1971 as the original Winnipeg Jets of the World Hockey Association (WHA). After the WHA had ceased operations, they were one of four original franchises absorbed into the National Hockey League and then officially granted membership on June 22, 1979. The Jets moved to Phoenix on July 1, 1996 and were renamed as the Phoenix Coyotes.

The NHL took over ownership of the Phoenix Coyotes franchise in 2009 after previous owner Jerry Moyes (who had incurred massive financial losses since his purchase of the team in 2005) turned it over to the league after declaring bankruptcy. Prior to that, Moyes had previously attempted to privately sell the team to Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie, who wanted to relocate the team to Hamilton, Ontario, but the NHL protested that the attempted sale was a violation of league policy and a court agreed. During the next 4 years, the league vehemently resisted selling the team to interests that would have moved the team out of the Phoenix area, and on July 3, 2013, reached an agreement that will keep the team in Glendale for the near future. The sale to IceArizona Acquisition Co., LLC. was completed on August 5, 2013.

On June 27, 2014, the team changed its franchise name to the Arizona Coyotes and modified its secondary logo.

Stadium or Home

Gila River Arena (formerly Jobing.com Arena) is a sports and entertainment arena in Glendale, Arizona. It is located about 12.5 miles (20.1 km) northwest of downtown Phoenix.

The Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL) has been the primary tenant since the building opened on December 26, 2003. It sits on the north side of West Maryland Avenue across from University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the National Football League's (NFL) Arizona Cardinals. The venue anchors the City of Glendale's Westgate Entertainment District just east of Arizona Loop 101.

The now-defunct Arizona Sting also had played four National Lacrosse League (NLL) seasons at the arena until their 13-11 loss to the Rochester Knighthawks in the 2007 Champion's Cup game. Negotiations on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement originally delayed the start of 2008 NLL season, but the Sting did not participate. They eventually ceased operations in 2009.

Completed at a construction cost of $220 million, it seats 17,125 for hockey and lacrosse, 18,300 for basketball and about 19,000 for concert events. The arena has 3,075 club seats and 87 luxury suites (including two Luxury Tower Suites). It also features a completely integrated video, scoring and advertising system from Daktronics.

After officially acquiring ownership of the Coyotes, IceArizona hired Philadelphia-based Global Spectrum as the arena management company on October 10, 2013.
