The Arizona Coyotes are taking their hockey team to Utah.

土狼隊確定要搬家去鹽湖城了

As has been expected for months, the NHL Board of Governors voted to approve the sale of the franchise's hockey assets to Ryan and Ashley Smith, owners of the NBA's Utah Jazz, and Smith Entertainment Group (SEG). The group made an officialrequest for an expansion team for Salt Lake City in January but later ceded to the NHL's desire to relocate the Coyotes from Arizona.

The team will play in the Delta Center, currently the Jazz's home arena. However, the NHL wants renovations to make the facility more hockey-friendly — especially if the club ends up playing there permanently.

只不過做法比較特別，土狼老闆Alex Meruelo是將球隊以12億美金

出售給猶他爵士老闆

爵士老闆之前就在運作要搞一隻擴編NHL隊伍

現在直接有現成的給他買XD

之後將和爵士共用Delta Center

A new arena was part of SEG's expansion team proposal, and it would also be used for a likely Winter Olympics in 2034.

也有計畫蓋新的場館

This is not expected to be the end of the NHL in Arizona. The sale of the Coyotes to SEG is for a reported $1 billion, and the agreement includes a guarantee to current team owner Alex Meruelo for an NHL expansion team if he can build a new arena within the next five years.

但在這次的轉賣案中，有確保原本老闆Alex Meruelo持有擴編權

他將繼續在亞利桑那推動蓋新的場地

如果在五年內成功的話

他有權可重新擴編一隊回來XD

目前土狼隊整個商標都還是保留在Meruelo手上

However, Glendale city officials and the Coyotes could never reach an agreementat Gila River Arena that was suitable to both sides, with several potential ownership changes and rumors of relocation to markets including Seattle and Houston. With dwindling attendance, unpaid bills and taxes leading to a failure to reach a long-term lease with the team, Glendale terminated the Coyotes' lease, citing a desire to book different events (especially concerts) at Gila River.

土狼隊之前被政府趕出Gila River Arena

From there, the Coyotes were left scrambling to find a new home in Arizona. Plans to build a new area and surrounding complex in Tempe fell through when proposals were voted down. That left the team to play in Mallett Arena on the ArizonaState campus.

The 5,000-seat facility is suitable for college hockey but well below the capacity expected for an NHL team, despite renovations made to accommodate professional players. Playing in such a small arena was never going to be sustainable for long-term success and in turn fueled the ambition to find a new home for the franchise.

只好搬去使用大學的場地(容量才5000人)

然後老闆的新球場計畫一直被打槍XD

所以只好先把球隊賣了

In what’s set to be the Coyotes’ final game in Arizona, Mullett Arena broke out into “Salt Lake sucks” chants:

土狼隊在亞利桑那最後一場比賽

全場球迷高喊鹽湖城爛XD

綠帽如果也這樣感覺會比較好XD
