Phoenix Coyotes
The National Hockey League Phoenix Coyotes have played hockey in the desert since moving from Winnipeg for the 1996-97 season. Under the direction of Managing Partner and Head Coach Wayne Gretzky and General Manager Don Maloney, the team now calls Jobing.com Arena in Glendale its home.
Although hockey fans might like to see Gretzky return to the ice as a player, fans around the world are equally excited that the greatest player in the history of the game has taken an active role with the team.
The Coyotes continue to work for a “Whiteout” – a popular tradition that started in Winnipeg but quickly carried over to Phoenix hockey fans – that involves all fans dressing in white during home postseason games. With seasoned stars like Coyotes Captain Shane Doan, team newcomer Olli Jokinen and goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, the Coyotes are poised for a strong season under Gretzky’s leadership.
The Phoenix Coyotes Corporate Office is located in Westgate City Center at 6751 N. Sunset Blvd. #200, Glendale, Arizona 85305, Phone: 623-772-3200, Fax: 623-772-3201.
All Coyotes home games are played at Jobing.com Arena located at 9400 W. Maryland Ave., Glendale, AZ 85305 in the Westgate City Center.
