Another season of Coyotes hockey is quickly approaching! For those of you who caught the Coyotes in Action in person or on TV know that Coach Wayne Gretzky has clearly taken this team to a new level. They look to build upon their successes of last season with a new season, new players, and a new goal….THE PLAYOFFS!
The Phoenix Coyotes will open their 2008/2009 home stand at home versus the Columbus Blue Jackets and will be working all season long to bring the playoffs back to the Valley of the Sun.
Come see Captain Shane Doan, All-Star Defenseman Ed Jovanovski, Peter Mueller, Superstar Goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, Phenom Prospect Kyle Turris, and everyone’s favorite stud Daniel Carcillo in action as they take on the the best that the NHL has to offer.
