From an Oilers fan, it was a privilege yet somber moment to be a part of the final game. Hope hockey in the desert, and in Quebec, returns someday

Detroit fan here. Godspeed Coyotes.

It was very well said. As a Quebec City citizen who lost his Nordiques in 1995, I really feel you Coyotes fans.

From a blackhawks fan. Thank you for being part of the NHL. I offer my condolences. Its never good to lose a franchise especially to the diehards. Hopefully one day you be able to have hockey in the desert once again. Thank you for all the games!

Sorry for all the Coyotes fans losing a piece of their home. Sending love from Buffalo

My wife is a relative of Shane Doan, as a fan of the Coyotes from up here in Canada thank you for posting this, hopefully we can see the Coyotes again one day.

May the Yotes be loved forever. Love from the Wings

I can't imagine a city losing a franchise. It is a sad day for sports when a franchise, maybe someday they can have a hockey franchise in Arizona again someday. Thank you, Arizona Coyotes.

Condolences from Nashville. You guys deserved better. You really did. I'm sorry for your loss.

From a Bruins fan, I want to offer my condolences. The league won't be the same without the Yotes :'(

This brings me to tears and this ain’t even my team I feel for these fans #FUMeruelo

From a Blues fan, I am sorry for Coyotes fans who stuck around and remained loyal to their hockey team

As a Yotes fan, Todd Walsh, you're the man. I'm taking my fanbase to Vegas

I am a Flyers fan, but what a tremendous salute to the Coyotes and their fans by Todd Walsh. Every fan deserves a standing ovation for your love and support for each and every year of hockey for this franchise. Hopefully, in the future the NHL finds its way back to AZ.

RIP COYOTES. you will be greatly missed

What a sad day for the fans in Arizona. A lovely signoff.. Hope you get a team again, great loyal fans in the desert.

man i feel so sorry for the fans 😞

Even though I'm both a Chicago Blackhawks and a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, I wanted to say thank you to the Arizona Coyotes for being a part of the NHL since I was 1 year old, now I'm 28 years old, will be 29 in November! Thank you Arizona Coyotes, good luck with your new future in Utah!

Bruins Fan here it really makes me sad seeing a team move away seeing the fans Cry makes me feel for them. Godspeed Coyotes.

I'm a Stars fan and I hate to see any fan base lose their team. You guys have always played us a good game and I will always remember the Coyotes. I hope this isn't the end of hockey in Arizona. You fans deserve better than this. I'm an AHL off ice official and what Mr. Walsh said about hockey is so true. It is about the people, the fans, the hockey community in general is what makes this game the best in the world.

I’m a pens fan…I remember the talks of moving to kansas city. The organization has been so important to the city and its people. I’m so sorry for the fans and the community. You deserved better and I hope you get your team back.

That was rough. Walshie was always so nice, even walking around the grandstands.

Minnesota fans felt the same way in the 90s. A lot still miss the North Stars.

This is so heartbreaking, There are a lot of dedicated coyote fans in Arizona. This one really hurts !

From the Flames, Loved watching you guys play us and we are gonna miss seeing you up there with the other NHL teams in Drafts and ads. My appreciation and love for you guys, I hope to see you again in a future expansion draft.

Walshy - Thank you for everything

As a Hurricanes fan, the one thing that I've always lamented about the franchise was how it came to be. I imagine many Utahns probably will feel the same, regardless of their lack of say in the matter. You didn't deserve this, AZ; the pursuit of Mammon wins once again. My sincere condolences.

I couldn’t imagine losing the team I cheer for this is heartbreaking I’m with you coyotes fans much love and respect you guys deserved better then this

Thank you so much for sharing this! Coyotes Forever!

I'm a Seahawks football fan and have been since 1976. This came very VERY near to happening with us in 90s. And, of course, the Sonics left town as well. My regrets and condolences to the 'Yotes faithful. I hope something can be done for you.

Fred Shero -- as a Philly boy in the 1970's, YES!!! Thank you, Todd. We will see you again.

As a fan who almost lost his team twice,much love from Pittsburgh! ❤️ Yotes forever!!!

Love from Detroit to Coyotes fans.

Sending love to Arizona from way up north in Ottawa. I can't imagine losing my Senators, even though they suck. Hard times for hockey fans way down south.

Sending love to the yotes fans

This was so well said and done. Arizona will be missed the fans were not the reason it didn't work.

From a Ranger fan for decades, it is a shame the Coyotes/fans won't have NHL hockey 2024-2025. At the very least may there be a perfect NHL arena built somewhere in Arizona in the coming years that can bring hockey back to the Copper State. Hopefully, there can be an ownership group with deep pockets and a marketing team that can sell enough season tickets long term to permanently plant the puck in Arizona forever. Nothing but 1,000,000 percent respect to the fans that have been loyal from day 1. Be well and safe.

RIP Arizona Coyotes! You deserve better..your front office screwed your team..a shame...

from kings/ducks country, and one of my closest next door neighbors from a few hours away, this hurts. I feel for you guys and I am a casual fan. it just won’t feel right. yes, I’ll see the DBacks, the suns, the devils, but there’s gonna be a huge hole to feel without these guys running hockey.

Wild fan here, hockey in the valley will return I know it will. Losing the yotes is painful and I share in your frustration.

As someone who lost his nfl team and my mlb team is pretty out the door I’m sorry you coyotes fans have to deal with this. It’s heartbreaking to see any a city lose their teams. As a sharks fan I wish I could have caught a game in Arizona

As a Flyers fan, of course I appreciate the legendary Freddy Shero quote. Hope you guys get another NHL team soon.

Thank you, Arizona! It’s been a great ride!

Bruins fan here, so sorry for the fans of the coyotes. I hope one day soon you will have a new version of the team to cheer for. But please let it be with a new ownership group.

From a Devils fan, I'm so sorry.

I would like to thank all the other teams fans for their love. I hate losing my team but will keep rooting for them in Utah. This Coyotes owner doesn’t deserve a thing from us fans

The coyotes will always hold a special place in my heart they were the very first nhl team I watched in person

Thanks for everything, Yotes! From a Flyers fan

This is Sad Even to any nhl fan for some reason.

Bolts fan here but the whole situation makes me sad but after seeing this I really feel for the yotes fans

This is what people who say "Why should we pay for XYZ for a sport team? If they leave then let them go!" Its emotions and connections like this from team to the fans to the community, it makes a ton of memories for everyone that they'll cherish forever and why its so gut-wrenching when you hear about a team leaving their city for whatever reason I hope Phoenix you guys get a new NHL team one day

Very saddened for the Arizona fans and the Coyotes fans. You guys deserve way better than the ownership who treated the personnel and fans like crap.

Fitting the final montage contained a clip with the Atlanta Thrashers, whose fans understand your current pain and upcoming feeling of bitterness and emptiness.

mad respect. even tho i havent really cared overall, i have to admit that yotes has been my second fav team behind preds. and you yotes showed us and the league in 2012 u were the real deal when u beat us and were top 4 team in playoffs. u had always the coolest jersey. in 2011 i was happy for winnipeg to return and i was more angry than sad cus incompetent owners in ATL. now for yotes i feel more sad, cus just like nhl, when its all said and done i too belive hockey can thrive in the desert. its just the matter of logistics where the yotes has fought an uphill battle all the way since 96. yes its hard to belive the current owner after all what happend. but he has a history of turning things around iv heard and he didnt have it easier than the other owners. and remember, without az hockey we woudnt have Matthews..... i hope in 4-6 years time this comment will stand the test of time and we will see Coyotes 2.0. Goodspeed Arizona and Phoenix Coyotes.

I wouldnt worry this states gonna have hockey in the near future. Till then god speed

If your good to the game, The game will be good to you. Win today and we walk together forever. Very well said quotes Mr. Todd Smith which I believe some day in the near future when there will be another Arizona team gets selected as a future NHL expansion team, let's just say "When one door closes, Another door opens." I believe the quote you said about being good to the game reminds me of what Caitlin Clark does on the court and many critical people including former or current professional women players are allowing her to be something that she's not and all she's doing is being considerate humble of the game setting a great example of herself and the community, Why l said that is how the Arizona Coyotes team are. Is wasn't about style points, money, endorsement deals, Is all about the love of the game. This team will be missed but not forgotten, This is a see you later down the road. God Bless this team and Arizona Coyotes fans will miss you.

A born Utahn. Haven’t lived there for almost 2 decades. Still consider it home. This is the shittiest way to get a team in SLC. I feel for the Yotes fans. Can’t imagine what they’re dealing with. Y’all will be back asap.

Just when I didn’t think I had any years left… 😢

I REMEMBER THE HARTFORD WHALERS RELOCATING TO CAROLINA ! SHIT HAPPENS !

The NHL will return to Arizona. It just needs better management.

Well said

Shane Doan needs to assemble an ownership group and buy the defunct franchise and resurrect (PHX style) above and beyond that previous owners have attempted to do.

Feeling for all of those in Arizona who love the Coyotes. Been a Stars fan for 25 years. I feel for what the North Stars fans went through when the team left for Dallas, and after all these years of watching the Dallas Stars, my heart would hurt so deeply if they left. Seeing the tears from fans at the Coyotes last game hit deep. Lifting a glass to each of you and to the Coyotes. Here’s hoping to hearing the howl again someday. 🍻🫶🏼🏒

As A Rangers Fan you have my deppest Sympathies

Hockey returned to winnipeg, may hockey return to Arizona one day 😢

the coyotes are the humblest and have the most character in the league. a small bond of brothers under the wrath and demonic actions of those in higher power who deserve much more than having to root for a soulless team in either Utah or Vegas

I feel for the coyotes fans, I truly do. That franchise whether it came to ownership, a place to play, or the product on the ice, was not as stable as it should have been. I think that if things over the past 28 years had been different maybe the coyotes would have never had to leave.

That Fred Shero. Was he an evil genius or what?!

Does anyone know if Todd is going with the team to be their announcer?

This is so sad to see, but it's again a reminder to fans that sports is a business, and this will always happen. People never think they'll lose their team to relocation, but it can happen anytime and anywhere. Ownership changes, do we stay or do we go. It's the owners decision, no one elses. Spanos did it with the San Diego Chargers, look at the Raiders in Vegas.Look at the history of NHL teams that went to other cities. Good franchises, not just struggling franchises. I lived in Hartford when the Whalers went to Carolina. People to this day there still haven't recovered from that move, it was heartbreaking. Atlanta had 2 NHL franchises in history, and now both gone. I feel bad for Todd, but he'll bounce back. A huge part of his life has been torn away, though it pales in comparison to losing a mother or father, but it still stings. Be happy what you had in the past, because nothing is guaranteed in the future.

Sadness noises

Can anyone tell me the song they used in the montage it's driving me crazy?

and on to Utah for more of the same

Hopefully The Coyotes will take Todd Walsh with them. Oh, and take Kari Lake too

Old Winnipeg Jets , how ironic Arizona Coyotes lol

Good bye and Good Riddance !

Some of the best memories I have are from when they played at jobing

Sabres fans better watch this if the playoff drought goes to 14 next year. Terry already is offering 25% of the Bills for sale. Man is getting antsy right now if the Sabres don't shape up soon.

😢😢😢

So everyone got laid off including radio/tv commentators?

Broad street bullies

Sleepy 😴

Arizona you may have been the most shit team in the NHL but that doesn’t mean you won’t be missed Until Next Time Coyotes 👋😢

As sentimental as this stuff is, a city of several million people can’t even sell out a 5000 seat arena. It was very inevitable

Why are we chopping so many onions in this dusty room.

I feel bad for the fans, all 6 of you, but let’s be serious. The NHL going from Manitoba to Arizona because it “didn’t work” in Winnipeg and then staying in the desert for almost 30 years despite losing money almost the entire time it was there, for whatever reason (it didn’t seem to matter why the original Jets, who I was never a fan of, lost money) makes a laughingstock of the league. The Jets never had to literally be bought out by the league. The fans may not be at fault, but neither were Jets fans in 1996. The moment things started going south with the Canadian dollar in the 90s, the Jets were gone. No one fought for them. The Coyotes are a different story. The NHL fought for them even though from the beginning it wasn’t working. The arena wasn’t even accommodating to fans - from the beginning. None of this is a knock on long suffering Coyotes fans, who probably discovered hockey in the 90s and just wanted to see their team succeed. I feel bad for them. But the NHL screwed Winnipeg in 1996 and they’ve been screwing Coyotes’ fans for 28 years. I’m not convinced it can ever work there because they had almost 30 years and still couldn’t do it. Many franchises, including the Thrashers and others, haven’t had that leeway. No fault of the fans. But if you can’t get ownership to do fulfill their obligations, they don’t belong. They should have been gone in the 2000s and maybe Arizona would have a stable franchise at this point. They beat a dead horse for years. Hopefully Utah does better. I’m tired of the rest of the league bailing out failing franchises. Either get it together or move. They would have lost less money if they’d stayed in Winnipeg and just expanded to Arizona. There are a few franchises that don’t belong. This league is bloated.

This guy is talking to like about only 20 people since that’s about all who ever showed up to youts games all throughout the teams history. The end of a 25 year mistake. Good to know Winnipeg still has its team oh they are in the playoffs too.

😂 this commentator is never gonna have a gig like this again and knows he has to be frugal next month's cheque poor bastard gonna have to commentate on highschool badminton

as a Flyers fan you can have our team if you want. we suck too.

I wanted to play goalie because of bryzgolov

End of an error.

DON'T CRY, YOU LITTLE CRY-BABY!

SHOULD'VE BEEN BETTER AT YOUR JOB, AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN!

BUNCH OF CRYBABIES!
