Huge day in Arizona as the votes will be held today to decide the future of the team
As you know, the Arizona Coyotes have no permanent home and were playing in a neighborhood arena this season. A real shame for the NHL, which is the best hockey league in the world. Meanwhile, a junior team is playing in an amphitheatre built for the NHL in Quebec City...
Today is the most important day for the franchise, as voters in the city of Tempe, Arizona, will vote on whether to keep the team.
"No hyperbole: Today is the biggest day in Coyotes franchise history.

Note that a no vote doesn't necessarily mean an automatic relocation to another region, but let's be honest, rendered there, the chances of the team staying in Arizona are very low.
The question remains as to why Gary Bettman is stubbornly keeping the Coyotes in Arizona, when the market has never been favorable to an NHL team and there is a junior team filling the arena in Quebec City.
