After Tempe, Arizona, voters rejected a deal for a new arena, the future home of the Arizona Coyotes is in doubt. “It’s evidenced by the passion we have for the Whalers going back years — still one of the best-selling jerseys. Connecticut was the home of an NHL team from 1979 to 1997 until the Hartford Whalers moved to Carolina and became the Hurricanes.

The Coyotes played in 5,000-seat Mullett Arena on the Arizona State University campus in Tempe this season after playing at what is now Desert Diamond Arena the previous 20 seasons.
