Coyotes ASU temporary visiting team’s locker room and training area

[robertmac43]

Yikes, that is embarrasing.

 

[Whaddagoal]

If only there were any signs before this that the Coyotes were in a rough spot...

Yep... Totally unforseen!

 

[beowulf]

I am sorry Arizona and fans of the 'Yotes but this is just so amateur and I still do not get why Buttman has spent years making sure the team remained in the league.

 

[SomeDude]

at home for the home team/at the hotel for visiting team

They've got plenty of recycled zamboni water to at least hose down the Yotes. Can't let that go to waste in this economy.

Every day that this goes on tarnishes the NHL’s reputation. We have better locker rooms than that in my beer league.

 

[Rob Brown]

Surely this is enough for the Coyotes apologists to change their mind about the state of things...

 

[Dr Pepper]

Oy vey. Bettman needs to just admit how wrong he was about this whole situation.

Never gonna happen.

The Coyotes begin life at Arizona State University on Friday when they host the Winnipeg Jets following a six-game road trip to open the schedule.

There were inevitable jokes made when Arizona's move to an arena — which is named for a prominent ASU donor family — that's a fraction the size of the league's other 31 venues was announced, but NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said it will benefit the franchise both now and in the future.

"Full building every night," he said. "It could help the team and player performance when you have that type of environment.

"It's not a permanent solution — could never be a permanent solution — but as a short-term solution it'll work fine."

There have been moments when it appeared the Coyotes would be leaving Arizona after originally relocating from Winnipeg in 1996.

Daly, however, said when the league commits to a market, "we're committed."

The league is 100% committed to making this work.

Y'know, just like they were committed to making it work in Hartford.

And Atlanta.

And Quebec City.

I'm afraid to ask, but...what exactly is the shower situation?

Probably a pack of baby wipes.

 

[surixon]

Pretty embarrassing that some teams have to deal with this. I'm sure the PA and visiting team management is on the phone with the league.

 

[abo9]

I don't get it, a University arena doesn't have enough locker rooms for 2 teams?

I must have missed something, because the 50 years old arena near my high school had more than 1 locker room...

Hartford and Quebec City were both okay as markets. The game changed too much for them to stay successful. Atlanta's just been a huge miss. Twice.

Do they at least get a ASU lanyard and complimentary flip flops?

Yeah, every community arena in the GTA has like 6+ rooms per rink/pad. They aren't always 'nice' or big, but they are actual rooms with benches, hooks, doors, and washrooms lol.

 

[jigglysquishy]

It's sad to see as a Jets fan.

It's like if your ex wife left you for some rich American, only to end up living in a trailer park.

ATL just isn't a hockey town, but the thrashers could have worked out if ownership wasn't intent on moving them from the time they took over the team

 

[Craigo85]

Is this real video/legit twitter account?

Not a joke?

Geez ....

 

[Polite HKYDiscussion]

At least there's only 4 teams that have to enjoy those accommodations.

Winnipeg, New York (Rangers), Florida and Dallas all drew the short straws, I guess.

Winnipeg and NY will just be happy to be out of the cold.
Florida will just be happy to be out of the humidity.
Dallas will just get dressed at home.

 

[Kunta Kinte]

Meanwhile Quebec City has a brand new building and an actual fanbase.

Sickening.

Probably just a hole in the roof.
