The Arizona Coyotes have literally come a long way from where the team started. From 1972 until 1996, this club was the original Winnipeg Jets. The Jets had been a winning team in the World Hockey Association before joining the NHL in 1979. After years of struggling, the team headed for a different climate, took on a different name and set about changing the culture. In 2013, new ownership came in and changed the team from the Phoenix Coyotes to the Arizona Coyotes. While the club hasn’t made a postseason appearance since then, ownership has been stable and the team has stayed competitive. If you want to see hockey in the desert, this is the team to watch!
