Arizona Coyotes: #OneYearGone
One year ago today, the Arizona Coyotes took the ice for the last time.
It wasn't "officially official" until the next day. But everyone knew it was happening. The fuse was lit. The Coyotes were leaving Arizona. Critics quipped. Haters rejoiced.
Meanwhile, a close-knit community grieved.
The fans in the desert and beyond had gone through a whole lot of crap in 28 years. And yet they remained loyal to the pack. The "us against the world" mentality was endearing and infectious. "Us" had scratched and clawed since 1996. But in 2024, "the world" delivered a knockout blow.
So, on April 17, 2024, about 4,600 Yotes faithful packed into Mullett Arena to see their favorite hockey team play just once more. The White Out crowd witnessed the Coyotes win 5-2 against the soon-to-be Western Conference champions, the Edmonton Oilers. And after that final horn sounded and "Howlin' for You" played, the fans shared tears, hugs, photos, and goodbyes.
For many, their lives have not been the same since.
All day today, I am sharing stories from those people. From you. I'm sharing what this franchise meant to you, what was taken away from you, and how your lives have changed. I hope my doing this will unite the fans who've been separated from their team and from each other. And I hope that it will show the outsiders that yes, we're still here.
And of course, that hockey belongs in the desert.
P.S. If you'd like to share your Coyotes memories, I encourage you to do so with the hashtag #OneYearGone

4 goals allowed in 5 straight games for Carter Hart. And Adin Hill still sits on the bench.
Former Coyotes erasure.

Claude Lemieux played 164 games for the Coyotes between 2000 and 2003, tallying 32 goals and 49 assists.
And we just saw him on national TV 3 days ago carrying the torch for Montreal...
Thinking about his family.

The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60.
Born in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983.
Claude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President’s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP.
The very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Claude remained with the Canadiens for an additional four seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 1990-91 season.
In 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. As a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup for the very first time in 1996.
Claude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000. Claude later played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars before making a comeback with the San Jose Sharks during the 2008-09 season.
Internationally, Claude represented Canada on several occasions, including capturing a gold medal at the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championships and winning the 1987 Canada Cup.
He was loved by his wife and four children, and on behalf of the Lemieux family, we kindly ask that everyone respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Memorial service details to follow.

The Sabres are now 2-0 in the playoffs when they've started 4 former Coyotes and 4-4 when they've started only 3.
