Arizona coyotes

The Arizona Coyotes are in the Stanley Cup playoffs and they play in the Western Conference. The Coyotes are in the Pacific Division and play at Gila River Arena.

The Coyotes were founded in 1972 by Jerry Moyes, who wanted to create a hockey team for Phoenix, Arizona. They were named after their colors: blue, red and white.

The Coyote’s first coach was Bill Dineen who coached them for two seasons before moving on to become general manager for the Philadelphia Flyers where he stayed until 1978 when he became Sporting Director before retiring from hockey altogether after five years with Vancouver Canucks (1977–82).

Chychrun originally started playing organized hockey at age eight when he joined a local recreational league near where he lived; this led to him eventually becoming captain of his school team at grade nine (the year before high school).

The Arizona Coyotes are in the Stanley Cup playoffs

The Arizona Coyotes are in the Stanley Cup playoffs. They are in the west and they’re in their first season back in Arizona after relocating from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The Coyotes have won this division before, but it will be tough with all of those rivals: Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks.

The Coyotes have done well so far this season but still need to win some games if they want to advance past round one of these playoffs where you can win a championship title by playing against other teams who have advanced past round two or three games before being eliminated from contention for winning your own playoff series (like what happened last year when Los Angeles Kings lost 1-0 at home against San Jose Sharks).

Conclusion

The Arizona Coyotes have been in the Stanley Cup playoffs for the past few years and they are looking to make it back this season. The Coyotes have had some great players like Shane Doan, Jakob Chychrun and Nick Schmaltz on their roster but they haven’t won a championship yet. If these players can continue playing well then hopefully we will see an amazing playoff run from them this year!
