What should the new Salt Lake City team be called?

The best part was the shirts-off-backs ceremony where they took their jerseys off, signed them, and gave them to fans. They were on the ice for a good 45 minutes after the game ended. The gave out their sticks, went to the back room to give out their backup sticks, signed hats and pucks and tossed them into the croud. Logan Cooley even tried to give away his helmet. Afterward they pulled out the mats and opened the zamboni doors so fans could go on the ice and meet the players. All that, plus a 5-2 win, what a perfect send off
-
Very sad. My heart goes out to all the players and staff of the franchise. Hope there is still a future for professional hockey in Arizona.

Av's fan, here. Sympathy to everyone in the Yote Pack. You are a great fan base and y'all deserve better. Hockey belongs in Phoenix.

I'm not from AZ, but I hated how when I got into hockey everyone was down on them. I got into at the right time, with Keller on the team and finally a glimmer of hope. It hurts because we were so close, to having a team worth believing in and finally, finally showing just how good hockey in the desert can be. I spent the whole game in tears.

The NHL looses another WONDERFUL jeresy. My heart goes out to the Fans and staff.
-
As a team that I wasn't into as a kid, still in my opinion is the best logos in hockey history. Edit: Just figured to add that I wish that the team at least had one more playoff run.
-
Sad seeing that logo go. It was the best one in the game.

i’m primarily a red wings fan; always have, always will be. But i fell in love with the coyotes as of late, and to lose them just as i was starting to really get into it hurts. i can’t imagine how it feels for the fans that have grown up with the yotes. i hope one day they’re able to come back and that in the meantime, the hockey culture there thrives.

As a coyotes fan who grew up watching them I don’t think I would still be playing hockey if not for the players and this franchise I shedded a tear last night watching the clock tick down 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and just like that almost 30 years was out the window. And remember the chants! Go yotes!

I live and grew up in Connecticut. I feel really bad for the fans in Arizona, I know the feeling all too well. It will take a long time to get over it, but just try to remember that Hockey is a great sport, and that just because the NHL has left your city, that doesn't mean that Hockey itself has left. Keep on skating Arizona

What really sucks was seeing this team going off at the beginning of the year. They were really crushing it and looking like they could be a good wild card or even 3rd in the Pacific. Lo and behold, when all the rumors started the team went on a 14 game losing streak. Seems like the players probably had a bit of insight on what was going on and that really affected their game. That pretty much put them out of playoff contention.
-
It’s like saying goodbye to a childhood friend
-
Just when the Coyotes buolt up some solid young talent, and I thought they were looking at playoff contention pretty soon. I'm a Flyers fan but I've always had a soft spot for the Coyotes. A shame to see them go.
-
Man this is heartbreaking 😢. I feel so bad for the fans. I've got family in AZ who loved this team. I'm just a hockey casual myself with no real favorite team... But as a sports fan, nobody deserves this.
-
I'm a teacher born, raised and living in Boston and I travel to Arizona for February break every three years or so. I had the chance to go to four Coyotes games in my vacations to the Valley and I always had so much fun. The unique atmosphere and culture of the NHL in the desert was so special and I will deeply miss it. So while the Bruins are forever my team, the Coyotes will always have a special place in my heart.
-
o7 Arizona Coyotes. Lots of great seasons under your belt. Happy I got to watch a fun team
-
Just found you! And yeah ... tears were flowing from Philly for some of the most dedicated fans in hockey - Godspeed to the Yotes and they're staff 😭
-
seeing that young line up just makes me think if only they could have held it together for another few years... that lineup is going to do amazing things :) hugs to the fans and staff

Carolina fan here, seein the Yotes move away is such an unfortunate thing to happen. Even though the rumors began so few before that we'd loose them, kinda felt like no one wanted to accept the fact we lost another great hockey town. From Carolina with love, good luck Yotes.
