The Arizona Coyotes are an inactive professional ice hockey team based in the Phoenix metropolitan area, which competed in the National Hockey League as a member of the Central Division and the Pacific Division in the Western Conference, and the West Division. They played at America West Arena in downtown Phoenix from 1996 to 2003, at Glendale's Gila River Arena from 2003 to 2022, and at Mullett Arena in Tempe from 2022 to 2024.
The organization was established on December 27, 1971, as the Winnipeg Jets, a charter franchise of the World Hockey Association. After seven WHA seasons they were one of four organizations enfranchised by the NHL on June 22, 1979 when the WHA ceased operations. Due to financial troubles, the Jets were sold to American owners who moved the team to Phoenix on July 1, 1996, where they were renamed the Phoenix Coyotes. The franchise name changed to the Arizona Coyotes on June 27, 2014. Alex Meruelo became the majority owner on July 29, 2019.
The team failed to gain long term stability despite the relocation. The NHL took over the Phoenix Coyotes franchise in 2009, when then-owner Jerry Moyes gave up the team after filing for bankruptcy.
