Huge slap in the face for the Coyotes from their own goalkeeper
The Coyotes announced a rare piece of good news today, but the whole thing has just been overshadowed by a rather forceful statement from goalkeeper Karel Vejmelka.
Indeed, shortly after announcing the signing of young Logan Colley, who will join the team for the coming season, our colleague William Nadeau found a rather revealing publication from Vejmelka.
"I don't think a single game was "sold out" this season (in 2022-23). It was also overwhelmingly fans of the opposing teams who came to the games.
The prices are stupid, $160 for the cheapest bench in a tiny college arena."

So on top of playing in a tiny amphitheater, the seats aren't even filled and the majority of the people are fans of the opposing team. What's more, the prices are completely ridiculous.
We understand that the team is in disarray and that it takes a certain amount of money, but what's the point of charging too much for a ticket when the stands aren't filled? That would bring in more people to buy merchandise and food, and therefore more revenue.
