Alex Meruelo gets frustrated when asked about season ticket refunds
Alex Meruelo, the now former owner of the Arizona Coyotes, became frustrated during a news conference today when he was asked about refunds for season ticket holders.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and Alex Meruelo, now the former owner of the Arizona Coyotes hockey team, took some questions from members of the media today after what has been a whirlwind month or so. Meruelo had a few interesting, and combative things to say, including this nugget when asked about refunds for season tickets holders. Meruelo seemed to become defensive about the issue, while Bettman did his best not to react.
Meruelo was also asked about unpaid bills to the city of Glendale that got the team booted from an arena there, as well as rumours that players weren't having their hotel rooms paid for. Meruelo insisted there are no unpaid bills.
Meruelo retains the rights to a team in Arizona for at least the next five years, provided a new arena can be built. He stated he is 100 percent ready to bring hockey back to the desert.
Meruelo also took the opportunity to apologize to fans of the Arizona Coyotes.
I'm sorry things got to this point and I take full responsibility for my decisions."
