AP Source; Coyotes Players Informed Team To Move To Salt Lake City

Arizona Coyotes players have been informed the NHL club is expected to relocate to Salt Lake City, a person with knowledge of the meeting tells The Associated Press. Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong flew to Edmonton, Alberta, to tell players about the team’s potential move to Utah before the Coyotes game against the Oilers, the person said on condition of anonymity because the move hasn’t officially been announced. The league has been working on separate schedules for next season based on the team playing in Utah or Arizona. Potential new owner Ryan Smith solicited names for a Salt Lake City-based team earlier this week.
