City of Glendale informs Coyotes 2021-22 season will be last in Gila River Arena

The Arizona Coyotes will need to find a new home at the conclusion of the 2021-22 season.

The city of Glendale announced that it has informed the NHL club that it will not renew the operating agreement for Gila River Arena - the home of the Coyotes - and that the team will need to vacate the arena at the end of the upcoming campaign.

The city and the team have had ongoing negotiations over the last several months on the terms of a lease extension and potential renovations to the arena, reports The Athletic's Katie Strang. The club also reportedly had multiple notices about outstanding balances owed.

More to come.
