In the midst of all the absolute hooey filed by the NHL in the lawsuit against Jerry Moyes, the sad-sack, money-losing owner of the Phoenix Coyotes, finally came some truth direct from the Moyes bankruptcy filing.
The following is from the Coyotes Chapter 11 petition:
“Fans have not supported the Coyotes in sufficient numbers to make the club financially viable,” the motion reads. “Indeed, the Coyotes’ 12 years in Phoenix demonstrate little potential for the development of the fan base in Phoenix that is necessary to make the club financially viable.”
The truth might hurt the folks in Phoenix, but it’s still the truth.
Bring the team back to Canada and if NHL commissioner Gary Bettman doesn’t like Hamilton, then send it to Winnipeg. Warts and all.
