The Arizona Coyotes fan base is built around some of the most loyal fans in the NHL. Unfortunately for the Coyotes they haven't been able to harness the casual fans and find themselves a permanent home. Today's news however, is a real positive for those loyal Coyotes fans.

After rumors swirled that the Coyotes would likely be leaving Arizona, it now appears that might not be the case. According to John Gambadoro the Coyotes are looking at locking down a possible new location.

#Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo has put in a letter of intent to purchase 41 acres in Mesa, Arizona for the teams new arena.

Meruelo is also still looking into other possible sites including Mesa, Phoenix, and Scottsdale.

Meruelo's goal is to have multiple sites under contract so there are options. This is to have a plan in place by the first quarter of 2024, so a target date is hit for a new arena's completion in time for the start of the 2026-27 season.

With the likely deadline of January for a plan to be in place it seems that the Coyotes are well on their way to securing their future in Arizona.
