With the apparent failure of Greg Jamison to get a last minute deal done before midnight on January 31st to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes (aka Winnipeg Jets 1.0) the Glendale, AZ city council has nixed the deal that they would have honored that was made by the council and the NHL prior to the January deadline.
A deal to former San Jose Sharks owner Greg Jamison had been drafted but was failed to be finalized and fulfilled by January 31, 2013. The deal would have seen the Coyotes stay in Phoenix for the next 20 years relying on a tax payer subsidy, according to the agreement. It would also have had 'Phoenix' dropped from the name and instead use the more inclusive term 'Arizona'." Failure to complete the pending deal with Greg Jamison has led to wide spread speculation that the Phoenix Coyotes may be destined for relocation to either Quebec City Quebec, Seattle Washington, or Markham Ontario. -Wikipedia
So with the seemingly inevitable demise of the Coyotes forthcoming, it looks like another NHL city-moreover it's fans-will be losing an National Hockey League team. With that, SB Nation's Yaw Axis has an open letter to Phoenix Coyotes fans, letting them know Winnipeg hockey fans feel their pain.
