Rumor: If the Coyotes Relocate, Will You Remain a Fan?

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

Not sure. I've lost interest in even watching the remaining games on TV. Seems pointless. Maybe I'll get over it, maybe not.

 

[Prarievarg]

Highly doubtful. Utah will have their own boards and this one will go away is my guess.

Yes, I believe so too. But it would increase the likelihood of me keeping up with the team and perhaps even remaining a fan.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

They will unfortunately.. everyone already saying SLC is not a good location.. people saying it is embarrassing as the arena is not feasible.. you can’t get liquor after a certain time? Not sure if that was sarcasm or not

Not many media people like it .. ( which is wierd after they complain about Mullet)

I doubt many free agents will want to go there

Good.

 

[Bondurant]

No. I won't hate on SLC but they'll be just another team.

 

[Baby Doaner]

If they relocate, I’ll pay closer attention to the Blues, since I live in MO.

 

[XX]

Only if they keep BA and roll out the team right Vegas style.

And don't forget no Sunday home games

 

[crazyhockeylover96]

Have to assume the RR also get moved since AM owns them too.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

I was thinking we should start a Coyotes fan Slack/Discord for non-Utah supporters. The AZ guys and the Canadian guys from on here.

HFB is still around but I think it’s gonna be toxic and I don’t know how welcome we’ll be at the beginning as UT folks start to find the place.

If a Discord starts up, I'll join gladly. Beats Twitter or Threads or any of that other crap. Drop me details if someone sets up a server. Maybe we can have PHNX create a common update board for non subscribers that we can add to ours.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Initially yea, over time likely no. Expecting Smith to add a role between he and BA, minimizing BA’s authority and leading to his departure in <2 years. Bear will last only as long as he wins.

Roster turnover might be accelerated if Smith wants to win quickly. He may also want to distance the org from the past. Plus Morgan said a few guys don’t want to play in SLC.

In a couple years they’ll be just another team.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

If they relocate, I’ll pay closer attention to the Blues, since I live in MO.

I was initially going to quit the NHL cold turkey but I remembered I was a Bruins fan when Big Joe Thornton was a rookie, so I could theoretically go back to that... And I love Seattle and the Kraken branding, so there's another option...

It'll take me a while to heal up enough to post on another HF sub board though. And never again at BoH.

I followed team from Winnipeg because of my investment in draft/prospects. Nothing changes other than my retirement plan.

 

[Schemp]

I'm still in denial and refuse the OP's choice...

 

[MIGs Dog]

I'm still in denial and refuse the OP's choice...

I'll add "shock and denial" as a poll option.

Followed by:

pain and guilt.
anger and bargaining.
depression.
the upward turn.
reconstruction and working through.
acceptance and hope.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Living 50 miles from Boston in the summers I’ll probably follow them. Who knows? Sure as hell won’t root for Winnipeg.

 

[Heldig]

Yes, assuming they keep the management and core in place and don’t do anything stupid. Easier for me to say yes as a non-local fan.

This.

I have waited for a long time to see my Jets 1.0 be good. There is so much promise right now. Excited to see how Bill Armstrong's plan plays out.

IF the team moves, they better have a fantastic jersey (not stupid name).

And they better keep the core and management.

Exactly!

Utah Grizzlies
Utah Bighorns

Salt Lake Stingers
Salt Lake Stallions

Give me mountain themed jersey trim. And don’t get cartoonish with the logo. Simple.

Utah Yeti? I kinda feel like they will go singular team name like the Jazz. Also read somewhere that it is Utah not SLC, also like the Jazz.

 

[finkelsteinberg]

This is my stance as well.

Agreed. But maybe add a 2nd team in the east or something.

I really dislike yeti a lot.

They can go with Utah but I don’t see why. Does anyone live outside of SLC?

I think Grizzlies is the hardest to screw up. It’s the safest bet. There’s the history with Utah pro hockey and it has that double Z like the Jazz. Do a little bit of brand cohesion.

They could do purple mainly like the Jazz, too. Mountain trim.

 

[Sm00chy]

If they leave I’m not becoming a Salt Lake City Soaker fan or whatever.

I live in NC and will just become a Canes fan I think. Went to see the Yotes play in Raleigh and the place was electric. Fun brand of hockey.

Was a Yotes fan from the beginning. Gutted.

Along the theme of cryptozoology, Skinwalker Ranch isn't too far from Salt Lake City.

Salt Lake City Skinwalkers!

 

[Matias Maccete]

Depends on if they shit on the Yotes time here, and if they keep BA, Bear and the young core together. If either of the answers are no probably not

I think part of the thinking with Utah is it just represents the whole state.

This is very Everett Silvertips

I think Grizzlies is okay but it feels like a knock off version of the Bruins. Also need to get the name from the ECHL team first.
