Doesn't sound promising. But you never know.
Fairly long article.
In a stunning late night development, the City of Glendale, Arizona announced it would vote Wednesday on killing a lease deal involving the NHL's Arizona Coyotes.
The vote, scheduled for 6pm, in Arizona ready simply "DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO DIRECT THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY TO CANCEL THE PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND ARENA LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF GLENDALE AND ICEARIZONA MANAGER CO., LLC AND ICEARIZONA HOCKEY CO., LLC, PURSUANT TO ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES ? 38-511, AND TO PURSUE ANY AND ALL OTHER LEGAL ACTIONS AND REMEDIES NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT"
It follows weeks of closed door discussions between Glendale's council members, and city attorneys, about the deal agreed upon in 2013. That deal, with the Coyotes ownership at the time, to keep the team in the Gila River Arena, was approved by just one vote.
The NHL was prepared to move the franchise elsewhere, and it has been widely reported that Ray Bartoszek had agreed in principle to purchase the Coyotes and move them to Seattle.
