7 heartbreaking moments from the Arizona Coyotes’ final game before Salt Lake City move, including a beautiful announcer speech

The Arizona Coyotes played one last time before the move to Salt Lake City.

It was an emotional night at Mullett Arena, to say the least.

With the Arizona Coyotes franchise packing up and heading to Utah in Salt Lake City, the NHL team that’s had a long history of struggles in the area, there was one last game in Tempe on Wednesday night.
