If this was a Canadian franchise Bettman would’ve been forced by the league to relocate 20 years ago.

The Coyotes may not be playing their best hockey, but they still deserve quality and support from the NHL. Those players play on a professional level, they deserve to have a facility reflect that. Bad move on the NHL for this. They could've at least done this all of this in the off season.

I played junior hockey in Kitchener in the 90's and our locker room was way nicer. This is just sad on a professional level.

Just relocate already 💀

Im in Montreal and i can ear the Quebec City hockey fans screaming in the distance lmao. The TV rights must be insanely high for the NHL to continue allowing this circus.

Your videos started popping up in my feed the other day and I started watching, couldn't shake the feeling like I recognized you lmfao, nice to see EckhartsLadder has started rocking with some NHL content, keep up the great work brother!

The fact they still have a franchise is beyond comprehension.

Not saying its gonna happen, but can you imagine the Yotes going to the playoffs and having playoff games at this arena!?

embarrassing for an NHL organization.

When a commissionaire cares more about maintaining a shitty market then playing a team in a hockey market

The coyotes main locker room looks worse than some of the locker rooms I've seen playing hockey in the South and that's saying something. Kind of reminds me of the locker room the Atlanta Thrashers had my team stay in for the U9 intermission game.

This is home ice disadvantage 😂 when your giving away tickets in cereal boxes and people still don’t want to attend a game it’s time to move teams to Canada.

I've been watching your star wars videos for so long! Had no idea you covered Hockey too!

I walk past this embarrassment of an NHL arena every day lol. Seriously cannot believe an NHL org is playing in these conditions. No wonder Yotes are requesting trades out

It honestly reminds of the C19 setup in my local arenas. No rooms, no benches, just folding chairs out in the open.

The visitors get dressed before they come to the rink just like old times when rinks didn't have dressing rooms. How do the other teams feel paying to keep this franchise afloat?

I just realized that you have both a Star Wars and hockey channel. This is awesome lol.

Reminds me of the minor hockey days when we had a girl/girls on our team. The association wouldn’t let the ladies dress with us guys (for good reason) so very often they’d dress in broom closets, or even the wheelchair-accessible bathroom, as there was rarely a female-only change room. Thankfully all that has changed lol.

I cant believe they still have a team. NHL needs a new CEO

I live in AZ, I'm not surprised nobody here understands a sport played on ice in what is mostly a desert. I miss the Whalers...

Insane. Reminds me of playing in an old timers tournament in Hawaii. No locker rooms. We had to change in the concession area which was tarped off with black sheets then walk down to the ice. No showers either. FYI the tournament was a blast but we are beer hockey not professional athletes.

The NHL has a Diversity Chief. This locker room is far from the most embarrassing thing about that league.

This is a bad look for the league

Wait…there’s an nhl hockey team in Arizona!?

THATS ABSOLUTELY EMBARRASSING🤣

If the Coyotes somehow, some way make the playoffs, the Disney movie will write itself.

Home locker looks like nice for a Beer League locker room! 😂🤣😂🤣 It'll get the older guys ready for what awaits them if they wanna keep playing after retiring. 🤣😂🤣😂

I’m going to the game tmr. I’m just happy my winnipeg jets get a better locker room😂

Imagine spending all your young life becoming a hockey player get drafted and then have a lockeroom like this wow that would suck

they've just been riding on how fantastic the Picasso doggo jersey is. but that can go to any city or franchise

Arizona wants to make sure the side winning most of the games in the arena has the better locker room. How thoughtful of them ❤️

I had no idea you did NHL stuff man!

How embarrassing. It would not be suprizing if the players had to sew the corperate sponsor crest on their jersey themselves like we did in boy scouts.

The room symbolizes the god awful, embarrassing trainwreck that is the Coyotes franchise. It's a great locker room for a peewee tournament or a beer league team. Maybe even a low-level junior team, but this is the NHL. You expect more from a multi-billion-dollar pro league at the top of the global hockey echelon. I mean, for christ sakes, my tiny home town has better facilities, an arena twice as big, and are currently outpacing them in attendance for a JUNIOR hockey team.... all with 3% of Phoenix's population...

The away locker "room" isn't all that bad, except if there are going to be tons of people in that area, in which case you might as well get dressed on the bus.

Its 4 games, oh no how will they dare live with this very temporary situation temporarily

If this was happening with a Canadian team lord Bettman would've never accept it. And it's not even for a few months it's going to be for a few years. With a brand new arena in Quebec city waiting for a NHL team 🤔

This gives just a bad reputation to the NHL. People will think we're broke asf if they see this.

I feel bad for everyone. Hockey can work in Arizona, just need to give the fans a reason to cheer for them.

Sad to see my Jets 1.0 going through this.

Nice 10k !!! You deserve it

I keep repeating myself but Quebec fills NHL arenas with QMJHL and AHL teams. Give us our team ffs.

When Your beer league has better lockerooms then an NHL team, and doesn't have them off site. that's how you know its bad.

Just announced, the Coyotes have relocated from Phoenix to Scottsdale. That should fix everything.

the home lockerroom lowkey looks like a peewee town room ive been in LOL

Relocate this team. Arizona has been a hockey nightmare. Get it together Bettman.

“I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet.”

They really had to show Keller’s locker in that guys been through enough

Poor Kassian went from one of the newer arenas with really nice player facilities to this situation.

That's sad and pathetic for an NHL team.. playing in a 5000 seat rink. They have a new rink, Mullet Arena... but alas same old sad team. Hey Bettyman... why don't you bring it back across the North border... EH!?? LOL

The Oilers vs Blackhawks game has had an insane second period. You should check it out if you didn't watch. So many penalties and a questionable no goal call.

Thanks Bettman

The Arizona Coyotes have lost $115.2 million (USD) between 2013 and 2023. The Arizona Coyotes are the lowest valued team in the NHL $450 million. The Arizona Coyotes are consistently at the bottom in attendance (even before the move to Mullet Arena). "[In reference to Arizona] It's an awesome market. IT IS TOP FIVE, we're close to it, and it's a place we want to be. And there are great fans of hockey and the Coyotes, and we're hoping to work it out."" - Gary Bettman (November 01, 2023) Despite being last in attendance, last in valuations, and losing the most money for the NHL over the past ten years Gary Bettman went on the recod to say Arizona is a "TOP FIVE" market. I often think he should not be commissioner anymore, and comments like those solidify my feelings.

Imagine being so bad that you have to use a college rink. You don't even get your own stadium. They should use a community ice rink for their next arena.

There's rinks here in Sask that still have natural ice and their dressing rooms are more modern than this

The funny thing here is TVA is owned by Quebecor, Quebecor owns a big chunk of the semi new amphitheater that is NHL ready in Quebec City.

First time in history there will be broomball after an NHL game.

I'll tell you this. The Coyotes locker room looks like the Delpark Home Center locker rooms. OML

Why don't the Coyotes just move to Tucson and share an arena with the Roadrunners?

For all those saying this is going be hard for the players, it’s not ideal but I’m sure the players are perfectly happy playing hockey and living their dreams

I know there are reasons for why the tenancy ended, but it's just nuts that they left a beautiful, still somewhat new, arena for a college rink. Even for a temporary basis.

I play beer league in NH and MA and trust me those locker rooms in the video are downright luxurious compared to the mold and piss locker rooms i have to change and shower in. Then again, I'm not a professional athlete. But I looked at those locker rooms and thought "nice" ngl.

MOVE THE TEAM!

I'm surprised they're still a team at this point.

I feel really bad for the players, imagine what this does to their mentality. Guys like keller are the leagues top talent and your telling me he's gotta get dressed in that pewee lockeroom.

The broadcasters will pump these three years as great and nostalgic, awesome for the NHL! Bettman is a crook by letting this happen - what's in it for him?

Question. Why are they getting changed... on the very ice surface that they need exposed... in order to play?

Does a guy come around after the game to hose them down in lieu of shower?

The Visitors will have the entire building to themselves when they're there. At least that's what was reported.

I wonder if a call up refuses to go, when asked why, "well we have better lockerrooms down here"

Bring the Nordiques back already!!!

About 30% of the titles on this channel have the word "absolutely" in them. This one is the exception.

What else are they supposed to do?

Fans of the visiting teams need to get on a plane and pack the place. I’d love to see the bruins in a small rink.

Are those folding chairs going to hold players with all their heavy and bulky equipment?

If they had access to an entire 200 foot rink, they could have built up temporary locker rooms on the concrete floor for home and away teams. They do that kind of thing for temporary barracks and hospitals in the military.

League leadership is to blame for some of this dysfunction. They need to take a hard look at some franchises that are struggling in their existing markets. I understand the quest to grow the league and create more parity. However, when you see teams in markets that clearly are not self-sustaining, changes should be made there before rolling out more expansion markets.

Finally giving the Flames some competition for worst dressing room

0:35 first time in history a door has been opened with that technique

granted I live in Canada, but as a 6 years old player, my neighborhood arena had much nicer locker room than both the away and home team ones... this is hilariously embarrassing, go yotes? go buttman? wtf

I hope the star players ask for a trade, this is unacceptable

This is just shameful. The players should demand this team move. Its a joke to the league and there is no way its making money to the overall hockey revenue pool.

Both of those rooms look better than anything in high school...

If this happened to Winnipeg Bettman would move then instantly. It's a goddamn joke

The home locker room has pickup league vibes. 🤣

Not sorry at all if the people there can't figure it out, they have been given plenty of time to sell the game . What do we have to do structure a playoff contender of the bat not going to happen lots of teams had to struggle to get their franchises up and running I say relocate.

Quaint and Cozy..

Why the Coyotes didn't use Phoenix Suns home arena Footprint Center instead of this small arena ?

Watch... the away teams locker room is so small and shitty that every away team is going to deeply bond over it and just destroy the coyotes on the ice.

My senior year in high school. They were still finishing the new high school. Played first 5 weeks worth of football games before i even had my first day of school. I bet if they put a picture of Britney g in their lockers. They might not thight they have it so bad. And gainer broke the law

I thought they were going to use rolling wire shelves for the lockers.

The visiting locker room might be more spacious, but it looks like the home locker room has there showers attached. The visiting team doesn't look like they have private showers.

4 games only, right?

The yotes locker room looks straight out of the movie slapshot

Can you imagine being the guy in the middle that’s name tags was on the wall? He doesn’t even have a damm clothing hook.

They need to relocate to Canada. Canadians are hungry for more teams

Hockey, Star Wars, halo, and cute puppies. I like you mr Eck. I like you ….

This is a black eye for the league. Coyotes need to be sold and moved to another city.

I saw this on twitter I thought it was fake 😂😂😂 LMAO

"does make the league look bad" Deservedly since it is an entirely league's self-created problem.
