| − | The '''Arizona Coyotes''' are a [[hockey]] team based in [[Phoenix (city)|Phoenix]], [[Arizona]]. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League ([[NHL]]). The Coyotes started in the NHL as the [[Winnipeg]] Jets and were moved to the city in 1996. After the move, they were known as the '''Phoenix Coyotes''' until June 27, 2014.

| − | The Coyotes play at the Gila River Arena (previously the Jobing.com Arena), in [[Glendale]]. The arrangement of a separate arena (instead of sharing the existing arena home of the NBA's [[Phoenix Suns]]) and the ensuing bad lease terms (which Glendale has repeatedly refused to renegotiate) has resulted in lack of fan support and repeated threats to relocate; their failure to pay lease payments has resulted in the team losing their lease after the 2021-2022 season. This led to endless speculation as to where the team will play: possibilities include another arena in the Phoenix area, or relocation to Quebec City (which lost the Quebec Nordiques), Houston (which had a successful World Hockey League and minor league teams in the past, and is the largest media market not to have a hockey team; it would also give the [[Dallas Stars]] a natural rival), and Kansas City, among others. Ultimately the team signed an agreement to share an arena with the [[Arizona State University]] club hockey team; the 5,000 seat arena is by far the smallest venue of any professional franchise in not only the NHL but in all four of the major sports leagues.
