Arizona Hockey Hopes Revived with New Committee and Doan Family at the Helm
Andrea Doan leads efforts to secure ownership and arena for NHL's return to Arizona after Coyotes relocated in 2024, aiming to rebuild local hockey community support.
- After the 2023-2024 season, the Arizona Coyotes moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, bringing to a close their 26 seasons playing in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
- Repeated failures to secure a new arena and voter rejection of a Tempe arena bid contributed to the Coyotes’ departure and the community’s ongoing effort to restore NHL hockey.
- Maricopa County Board Chair Thomas Galvin established an advisory panel to explore ownership and a new arena for an NHL return, appointing Andrea Doan—spouse of former Coyotes team captain Shane Doan—as its leader.
- Andrea Doan stated, "Arizona means a lot to me and my family" and expressed honor in chairing the panel focused on bringing NHL hockey back to the desert.
- The panel, which includes leaders from the community, business, and sports sectors, collaborates with a local hockey foundation dedicated to supporting youth hockey and community programs in the absence of an NHL team in Arizona.
