As an Oilers fan sir, your team deserved to win. We wish all the best for the team in Salt Lake City ❤

Oilers fan here, not upset about the loss last night. You had a solid Coyotes kids lineup there who will only get better. That was heartbreaking to watch at the last minute of 3rd period. Sorry for your loss Coyotes fans. 😢

Can't imagine the emotion of watching that final game. I hope that the passionate response from fans like you can help to grow hockey culture in Arizona even in the absence of your team, so at least some good can come out of this mess. As a Toronto fan, I've been indebted to the Coyotes for inspiring Auston Matthews to become a player, and though I desperately want him to be a lifetime Leaf, I would have been happy to see him finish his career with his childhood team. Fingers crossed you guys get your team back and that remains a possibility. Best wishes.

I’m really sorry about how the Coyotes owner has handled the team man, relocation is really tough. My Penguins have come close a few times and I know I’d be devastated to see them go, wish you the best

You really moved people with what you said, man. I’ve never been a hockey fan in my life; never cared for it. I’m just as passionate as you are, though, about the Carolina Panthers. Started with my Papaw and my dad in 95, and my dad and I have been diehard fans until today. I’ve had my fair share of angst with their ownership and their struggles as of late. If it wasn’t already evident, lol, sports fans heard you, and I appreciate your passion. I hope another hockey team comes to y’all soon, and I wish you the best with your channel man ❤

I’ve lived in phoenix since I was born in 2002. That 2012 season was the greatest hockey season I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. I’ll miss the yotes but I’m gonna move attention to try to get out state to keep the Dbacks around. Hopefully we don’t end up like Oakland where lose all our teams. Hope we get hockey back here in the desert

it really sucks that so many people are only seeing the passion coming from the coyotes fans now. It's always been there but the media and other fans made it seem like it wasnt. It's easy to show support now. I wish they had always been there.

I cheered for the original Winnipeg Jets, continued to cheer for them as first the Phoenix and then the Arizona Coyotes. When the Atlanta Thrashers became the second Winnipeg Jets, I had two teams to cheer for. And somehow... it does not make this any less gut retching.

The Coyotes have always had a special place in my heart since you have one of the coolest crests in the league. Stayed up till almost 2 watching the postgame. Gave me chills. There's really nothing like hockey. All the best to your fanbase - here's hoping hockey returns to the desert someday.

Stay strong brother! Any real fan of any sport ever understands one thing if only one thing AT ALL, this fandom is OUR lives!!! A salute from Tampa, FL ( Go Bolts ⚡️) lol

It was heartwarming to see Todd walsh’ farewell on Twitter All the best to Arizona hockey from the rest of the continent and league. Y’all will get a franchise there soon I’m sure. 🙏

I had the same emotions here in Montreal when we lost our baseball team in '04, which also had incompetent ownership which led to its demise. My sister lives in Arizona and frequently went to games and she's crushed to see the team go. Keep hanging in there, I hope you get your team back soon, and that you can still enjoy watching hockey despite this crushing news.

As someone who is a Flyers and Sharks fan, I remember watching the Coyotes season opener back in 2013 and I was blown away by the atmosphere in the stadium. Even though it was on TV, it felt like I was really there ready to cheer on the Yotes. It's sad to see that the team ended up having shitty owners and honestly I hope hockey comes back to the desert sooner rather than later. Plus, I always loved the way the Kachina logo looked. Definitely one of my favorite logos in all of sports

Wild fan here. I wasn't even born yet when the North Stars moved to Dallas but I couldn't imagine the pain you and all Coyotes fans are feeling right now. When I was little I loved the Yotes jerseys and I always enjoyed a Wild/Coyotes matchup. It sucks that so many passionate fans have to deal with their favorite franchise be plagued with incompetent ownership. As not just a Wild fan but a fan of the NHL, bring hockey back to AZ!

I'm from Toronto and I fully admit I used to be one of those "hockey won't work in the desert" people. Over the years I've been proven wrong over and over when it comes to the fans and the passion. While I still had issues with the Coyotes, my view shifted from "no one wants that there" to "Man I wish these owners would get their shit together". I'm incredibly sad for you guys. You deserved way better than what you got when it comes to all the ownership and arena nonsense. I really wanted to see it work and I hope you don't have to wait too long to get the team back.

My name is Dave: I'm an NHL hockey fan in Buffalo NY. I have always supported the Coyotes from a distance. My heart goes out to you and all the hockey fans in Arizona. It is so wrong what has happened. It is just heartbreaking. Please try to stay positive. I truly hope the NHL will return to Arizona. I will do anything I can to support a return of the Coyotes to Arizona. All the best to you. Take-Care.

Greetings from southern Canada. Living in a country where you're force-fed Maple Leaf Kool-Aid, I chose to become an Arizona fan years ago, Thank you for giving us Cpoyotes fans a place to hear about the team. Much appreciated.

I'm a random guy too. Coyotes fan since 1997. Been to so many games. Yes I got emotional a couple times. I really really appreciate you doing this video. I'm sure we all have our favorite memories. I'm going to try watch Roadrunners playoffs when I can.

Preds fan here. I remember when ownership considered moving the team to Hamilton in 00's considering a bad attendance. Now I cannot imagine our city without the Predators, and seeing you guys go through it is heartbreaking. Coyotes fans deserved better than this.

Really wish sports teams were owned by the communities they were in. They are such a nice thing to have around the fact that they can be yanked away because of one person's incompetence or greed is infuriating. Good luck and best wishes.

As a life long Coyotes fan from British Columbia Canada, I am completely heart broken. I got into hockey because of my older brother, and growing up in a small town, but now living in Vancouver, I wasn't sure which team to pick. My first name in real life is Jeremy, and my brother told me there is a player named Jeremy Roenick, and he also showed me the howl sound that is played when they score at home games. So as a kid, I quickly grew attached to the Coyotes. It was difficult back in the day to watch games due to limited coverage, but I did what I could. Back in 2020 I was finally about to go to my first Coyotes home game with my parents and brother on a trip that included a few days in Nashville (he's a Predators fan) and then a few days in Phoenix, but yeah THAT year happened and we had to cancel, literally a week before we were scheduled to leave. I was able to see a game this year back in February on Valentine's Day, and my brother and I even got on the jumbotron during a break when fans were dancing to music. We also managed to get the Kiss Cam's attention and got our parents on the jumbotron camera, lol. To top it all off, Howler just happened to be in our area so I absolutely had to get a picture with him. The team may have lost that game, but I still had an amazing time. And just like everyone else, I was crying my eyes out watching the final game and howling at each goal. Here's hoping that the Coyotes can be brought back in the future with competent ownership that isn't under AM. He apparently didn't have the money for a multitude of things during his years, so why should I even believe he will get this arena built? Plus he will have to do quite a lot to get my trust back as well as my forgiveness. Coyotes Forever!

i’m quite new to the hockey fanbase, but when i tell you how amazing and supportive this community has been for the coyotes. i’m a capitals fan myself, but i did get emotional while watching the game. i’m really glad they won.

Watching from México, getting into hockey thanks to the yotes I felt devastated watching that last game

As an Avalanche fan, I'm heartbroken for Yotes fans. I've teared up watching these videos about them leaving you guys and I honestly couldn't imagine how I'd feel losing any of my teams. I hope the NHL can find competent owners and bring a team back to the Valley

From a Long Islander who almost had to watch there favorite team move to Kansas City when I was a kid, the only reason it didn’t work it AZ is because of ownership. It’s not a coincidence the second the isles got good owners they build a beautiful billion dollar arena, and go on 2 back to back ECF runs. I lived in Scottsdale during Covid. I met a whole bunch of people at bars and parties who were my age (22) and they all loved hockey and their coyotes. It really is a sad time. I hope you guys get a team back. Arizona is an absolute beautiful place and I mean that, the entire state has so much variety. And the people are even better. Keep ur head up. Hopefully you get an expansion team at the very least

As an Oilers fan, im glad you guys won. Your fans deserved that finish.

Man, this bums me out. As a Utahn who lives about 18 minutes from the Delta Center, I've been so excited. I still am, but your videos have really made me think about what you guys are going through. I'm sorry that our gain comes at such a loss for you guys.

As a Rangers fan in New Jersey, it sucks that the Coyotes are leaving for Salt Lake City. I remember when the Jets left Winnipeg for Phoenix and thought that it would make no sense. After watching a game when the Rangers were in Phoenix, I was totally impressed with the strong support the Coyotes had. It was difficult watching the highlights from their last game and seeing how the fans had tears in their eyes, young and old. I wish them all the best in Salt Lake City. And if the NHL does return to the Valley of the Sun, I hope that it's not under the control of Alex Meruelo.

Arizona deserves better. You deserve better. And I hope the Coyotes return soon.

Canucks fan here. I just wanted to say how sorry I am for what’s happened. I always loved the Coyotes. Always was a big Shane Doan fan. Y’all will get another team. It’s too good of a market. Hopefully you also get new ownership. I watched the Coyotes play the Canucks in Arizona a few years ago. Some great passionate fans down there. Hockey belongs in the desert.

I am happy for the coyotes. Seeing the team win their last game in Arizona for now. I live in Utah, and i am so happy we got an NHL team but you coyotes fan deserve better.

Speaking as a Sabres fan who began watching hockey when we nearly lost our team in the 2000s I’ve had a soft spot for Arizona fans and sincerely hope you get your team back. Hopefully with better ownership/management next time

Very emotional hearing that final horn sound, seeing the ice girl tearing up, the signs, listening to Todd Walsh's words after the game, all of it. I feel for you Coyote fans. Hugs ❤

Run with the hockey videos man. Everyone loves your personality and I promise if you keep making hockey content me and many others will love to watch it

It's amazing that the people/fans are the ones who suffer when a sports franchise owner is found to be incompetent.

one of my close friends is a huge coyotes fan, but i never realized just how much this move would affect so many people everywhere. your last video really moved me, and i've been honestly holding back tears for days thinking of my friend, you, and all the other coyotes fans who have to lose their team. i'm from quebec and always made fun of our city for still holding onto the nordiques since i wasn't born when the team moved, but now i am starting to grasp why this affects people so much. i genuinely hope there is a future where the coyotes come back, or that arizona gets a new team, y'all deserve it.

I hope in five years we are celebrating the coyotes coming back to the NHL in Phoenix in a beautiful new stadium stay strong I believe in hockey in the valley

I’m a Lightning fan, and even I got emotional watching the end of that game. Seeing the fans in the audience being heart broken was brutal to watch

I didn’t feel as bad before it was like an okay, but watching you, a lifelong yotes I really feel for you guys.

Nothing but love and support man. Fingers crossed you guys get your team back asap and with an owner worth a damn. Grew up in Winnipeg so I know exactly what it’s like to lose the team. It’s so much more than “just sports”. It’s memories with your family and friends that sting when you think about them. Stay strong man.

Much love from Detroit. It's unfair how you guys were treated. Looking forward to a GOOD owner in expansion over there soon.

As an Oilers fan in Scotland, I was surprised at how ok I was with the defeat. Your team played their best and smashed us! It's bad enough to lose a team to relocation but to not even have a team full stop is a disgrace from the NHL who've enabled piss poor ownership behaviour. Stay strong, don't leave hockey behind, your Yotes time will come again.

Keep wearing that sweet jersey. Keep the coyotes alive.

As a Predators fan, it was always a battle when we met y’all. Sorry for your loss 💛

I've never had an NHL team but I remember my city losing our last AHL team in the 90s and the realization we will never get it back. It is absolutely devastating to lose any team that has become part of your life. There isn't really anything anyone can say to make it better but I do hope you are able to find a way to continue enjoying hockey between now and whenever the NHL returns to Arizona. Leafs nation would certainly welcome you if you decide you want to cheer for Doan, Matthews and Knies as continuations of the Coyotes' legacy.

I grew up in the Midwest but some of my family lived in Arizona. While visiting in the mid 90s I saw my first hockey game ever which was the Roadrunners. I saw them several times out there while on vacation and fell in love with the sport. Several years later I saw my first NHL game which was the Coyotes vs The Kings. So many great memories. Thanks for the videos and my condolences. ❤

Lightning fan here, I really feel for you guys and I'm sorry that poor ownership led to this mess. I hope in a few years that possibly they can come back.

I am a Blues fan; wish the Coyotes were staying there. I was fortunate enough to see a Coyotes - Blues game there at the old rink downtown; what a blast of a time…the fans were so fun, nice to me, a rocking place with music, lights, etc….I’ll always remember that game.

Moved to the Valley 2 years ago from NJ. Die hard Devils fan. I can imagine what you are going through.. I was so excited moving to a new place they had all major sports, especially hockey. I really hope hockey comes back to AZ.

I had no clue this was the impact of this whole situation until I watched this video I was on the side of the people cracking jokes but now this video really widened my view of how truly sad it really is I’m sorry brother about your team coming from a wings fan this video almost brought a tear to my eye 👊

I feel your last video blew up because of 1. Obviously was popular subject for those that regularly have hockey videos in their recommends, but 2. It was your pure raw emotions, and ability to articulate your frustrations, disappointments, memories, and feelings so well. I was captivated listening to you a couple nights ago, and could feel your pain. Even though I never went through the same kind of emotions, as I was a young child when my Jets moved to Arizona, and I was left with mostly confusion, I could still feel the hurt that you were experiencing. I'm sorry that you and so many passionate fans had to go through this, and years of god awful ownership, and always having to be the butt of every joke from scummy NHL fans who don't understand that it was never for a lack of passion and fans, it was the people at the top the failed, and doesn't seem to care about it. I know you said that you'll likely be done with the NHL, at least for now, but I pray that isn't true. You are so well spoken, and I would love to hear your thoughts moving forward. The Hockey Guy can't carry KZfaq alone. There's always room for more great voices and opinions.

It’s just great to see a fan, especially one of a relocating team, pour their heart out on what this means to them. I’ve never experienced a relocation, but just knowing that there are genuine fans that suffer at the end of it all is disheartening. It shows the business side to a game we love. I am curious as to where you go next. If this were me and my team relocated, I may loathe the fact that another city gets my players. But it’s not the players fault. I would cheer for them in their new city because they meant so much to me. I’d like to know what you would do about cheering for another team.

Wendy Lam is an awesome cartoonist. The group photo at the end of the game was a heartbreaker.

I’m a Rochester Americans fan born and bred (and by extension a Buffalo Sabres fan), but I have a soft spot for hockey in places it “shouldn’t be” and let me tell you, I’ve had a very hard time with them moving the Coyotes. I can’t imagine losing my hockey team, especially when there is so much promise for the coming years. I’m so sorry this is happening to you guys and I hope hockey can continue to thrive in Arizona, even after the coyotes leave.

Kings fan here: My stepbrother has been a loyal yotes fan for a decade now, and both of us are heartbroken at the loss of the franchise. I hope the team is reactivated soon 💔

man i loved the last video man I can tell it comes from the heart and I understand how rough this will be hope the best!

Snowbird from Montreal/Ottawa area living in Green Valley AZ. Yes we have a hockey culture in AZ..A lot of older people from the north country that were original six fans and experienced the first expansion in the early 70,s feel your pain.

you came up on my recommendations & im super glad. i’m from California & a ton of my friends are beat up about the move since they live in AZ. i ended up sending them your video & they appreciated it.

As a Blues fan, I have like'd the Coyotes for a long time, so they will always be remembered.

Greetings from Finland, best of luck to you! The final moments of the game made me tear up, can't imagine how you and the fans felt.

Sens fan here, sorry to hear what you're going through. Losing a team is a devastating feeling. Hearing that howl at the end of the game was a powerful moment. Keep enjoying hockey man.

thanks for sharing your story and thoughts. im a recent islanders fan from the last couple of years, but my dad took me to my first islanders game about 11 or 12 years ago. i hope the memories make you smile, despite losing your team. i live in new haven connecticut and there are still people here that get upset when they talk about losing the whalers

Sending much love from Seattle. Hope the Yotes are back soon!

Glad I found your channel from that last video! New sub! Emotional game last night.

As an oilers fan my heart bleeds for you and the yotes fanbase, cant imagine how tough it is. I hope hockey returns to the desert (with new ownership) in the near future

I really enjoyed the video because you balanced being passionate with being informed. That is just not something we see all that much on the internet, so it is really refreshing

Leafs fan here, I've long been a big supporter of hockey in Arizona, and i dream it does under different ownership!

jersey looks great pal... best of luck for the future of your hockey watching

As an oilers fan, I cheered for the coyotes last night. I feel so bad for you all.

i watched the recap of the oilers vs coyotes game and not gonna lie, i cried like a baby when they were in the last 15 or so seconds and seeing the fans on their feet and crying and so proud of these boys - even some edmonton fans stayed in the crowds that night. utah is getting a great team, just a shame it couldn't stay in arizona

I found you due to the flood of coyotes content I've been watching. Im a lifelong Avs fan in Utah and when the relocation rumors started, I started to follow the team WAY more than I was before. I am so disappointed with the way Muerelo has handled the team, and his incompetence is the reason that we are on this path. I want to be excited that we are getting an NHL team, but especially after watching that last game, I am heartbroken for the fans. I couldnt imagine the feeling of having a team torn from me like this. This is a team of young studs, and like you, I really hope Ryan Smith doesnt try to rush this team to greatness. Theyre going to get there on their own in a few years. I want to express to the fans in Arizona my sincerest apologies, I'm so sorry that everything happened this way. No one deserves this.

Much love from an Avs' van my brother. You got screwed and I am sorry for you, and all other Yotes fans.

man gotta say as an Oilers fan dawning my teams colors during that game, I myself started to tear up as the clock was counting down the last 4 minutes, and stood applauding Phoenix/Arizona for a solid like 6 minutes. I hope the ownership changes hands to someone who will fight for this team, You all as a fandom deserve a franchise that will last for generations to come!!

Arizona Coyotes leaving Arizona and going to Salt Lake City is the right move. Owning a professional hockey team like Arizona Coyotes is a business. It's obvious to me that Arizona isn't a place for an NHL hockey team . People in the state of Arizona shouldn't be too up set ,since they have an NFL team ,NBA team ,WNBA team, and a major league baseball team .

I’ve been playing as the Coyotes in NHL 22, I was a senior in high school when that game came out, I still play that franchise save to this day and it was a kinda sad seeing the team move. I wasn’t close to a fan when I started but I guess I’ve become attached to the team in a way. Your video definitely gives a reality check for a lot of people. I don’t think most people realize how this failure falls entirely on ownership. We knew about the vote but we didn’t know about the manipulation against the Coyotes. We knew about ownership not paying rent to the arena but we didn’t know about the guy not paying TAXES. I definitely don’t think people know about hockey booming in Arizona, y’all have high school teams while I live within an hour from Columbus and there’s no high school teams except for ONE in Xenia. All I have to say is I’m sorry the hockey community did not take the situation seriously at all, it would be a completely different story if it were one of the Canadian teams

Im a Rangers fan, I'm not even thinking playoffs. I watched until the end last night, it's so sad seeing this team go. Praying they come back like Meruelo is promising. Man it'll be a long 5 years is really all I can say.

all the best to you man

I found your video and was watching in class and man that was something as a lifelong Rangers fan im wishing you the best of luck my friend dropped a sub on this channel and im happy to have

Being from Michigan if any of the Detroit sports teams relocated there would be a huge problem….sure the lions stink but that’s something. It’s fun to go through the history of your franchise and remember yourself in a place during milestones of your beloved franchise, it’s also fun to represent your region through your teams …you have given me a new found perspective of the coyotes now having almost never given them much thought but I had heard Arizonas hockey scene is blowing up…that’s pretty awesome which makes me think now is the exact wrong time to move absolutely heartbreaking, sincerely wish you the best brother. Good luck to the players.

I tuned into the game last night here over in Pennsylvania, unfortunately I did fall asleep and didn't catch the end, but I did rewatch the end of the game. Was definitely a bittersweet moment, but I'm glad they went out with a nice win.

My grandparents are from Arizona and I’ve always liked the coyotes but I am a Blackhawks fan I can’t believe I’ll never be able to get to watch a coyotes game with my grandparents again 💔

Congrats on 1k

Im a kings fan but im so heartbroken for your fanbase i cant imagine how your feeling man but with that being said im so thankful for all the battles the kings and coyotes had against one another through out the years in the western conference especially the 2012 WCF

SJ Sharks fan and Utah local, I feel for you Coyotes fans. It sucks to see the team get screwed over the way they did but I know I plan on supporting them in their new version hardcore! I know how excited this area is for the NHL.

Sending honest love my dude. I have multiple Yotes fans friends, and it honestly hurts to have this kind of joy stripped from them, just as it was looking incredibly promising. I guess it's just sports... but it means so much to so many. Hurt to see those young fans in jerseys saying goodbye to their team. Sorry to all Yotes fans.

Hi from the UK, good luck 😊

Hi there this my first time watching your channel and I want to say to you and your Yotes nations I’m sorry for your lost and I can’t imagine your lost of your beloved Coyotes

Seing the faces of the fans after that final buzzer was heart wrenching.. couldn't imagine losing my team.

Sorry for your loss

🤞 for you, for expansion, and for Quebec too. Having lost the Grizzlies, definitely feel for you bro, chin up.

As a sharks fan i know a thing or 2 about big losses i feel your pain brotha we been hurting for decades welcome to our club i feel bad for the fans!

Much love from the 6 beard. The Yotes have been my 2nd team to root for since my young days of playing with Arizona and the Leafs all the way back to NHL 06 on my PS2. Terrible loss for the state. Hopefully AM34 and Matty Knies put on a good show for the Arizona hockey fans this playoffs. 🍁

Rangers fan hear. I grew up with the coyotes, and it’s just sad to see the franchise go. My first nhl game was versus the Coyotes, and I have always loved watching them when I have the chance. It’s become heart breaking to see them go I. I still can’t fathom it. I was crying after the game. Still so sad. ❤😭

the wikipedia page is already past tense 😭gonna miss this team

I've been a Calgary Flame in Utah for 25+ years and excited, but it will be weird to have 2 favorite teams! I'd be amazed to be able to finally see the Flames against my new hometown team! Craziness! All we've had are the Jazz, so this will be super awesome. But unfortunately it's coming from tearing apart an established fanbase's team which is always a heartbreaker. Hope the Coyotes come back in the near future. It was a great last game and enjoyed seeing your guys' fanbase come together for it. Stay strong!

damn as a Canadian I enjoy watching all teams I always rooted for the coyotes when they made the playoffs big fan of Shane doan they just always seemed to be a good underdog story year after year my brother back in the day had a Keith tkatchuk jersey and it was my favourite logo when I was a kid. this was tough I couldn't imagine losing our team good luck

thanks for putting into words a lot of the things i have been feeling for…let’s be honest, 20 years. but especially this last week. i’ve been filled with lots of strong, often contradictory emotions. the atmosphere at mullett last night will be something i remember forever. i am deeply angry at alex meruelo (and steve ellman, and andrew barroway, and and and) but in spite of my anger for the man, i love this sport and community a thousand times more than i hate alex meruelo. i would strongly PREFER that he not get another kick at the can. but if he does, i cannot delude myself into thinking that i will not be ALL IN again, immediately, from the day we even get a sniff of things spinning back up thanks again for these videos dude. yotes forever.

You are welcome BG! Rock on.

Hugs from an A’s fan

Hey man just stumbled upon this. I know your heart broken i feel your pain. Ive been to Phoenix lovee the city and i am hoping that they are able to stay in AZ were they belong.
