Coyotes Place Last on NHL Fan Loyalty Ranking
The Arizona Coyotes bark louder than they bite, embodying the phrase “All talk and no action.”
Since the 2012-13 NHL season, the Coyotes have consistently finished no higher than fourth in their division. However, it took a COVID-impacted season and an unconventional qualifying round for them to secure their first NHL Playoffs berth in a decade.
With the 2022-23 NHL season on the horizon, yengols.com has developed a fresh ranking system to assess the loyalty of fans for all 31 NHL teams (excluding Seattle, as they are a recent addition) in the second year following the introduction of sports betting in Arizona.
If You’re Not First…
It is not surprising that Arizona is ranked 31st on the NHL’s list of Most Dedicated Fans, putting them at the bottom.
The Coyotes have consistently been in the bottom 5 of NHL Attendance capacity percentage each year since the 2010-11 season, and it is unlikely that this trend will change anytime soon.
The franchise had to relocate from their home in the City of Glendale and in early February, they inked a three-year deal to play at Arizona State University’s Mullett Arena.
Arizona Coyotes fans may struggle to find reasons to remain loyal in the future due to their underwhelming roster, limited seating capacity at their 5,000-seat arena, and the least favorable Stanley Cup-winning odds of +50000 on BetMGM Sportsbook.
