Even Patrick Mahomes is tossing his hat into the ring during talks of a possible NHL team relocation.
Late Tuesday night, Tempe voters said no to a new arena proposal that would have become the home of the Arizona Coyotes should it have gone through. While the Coyotes will play the 2023-24 season at Mullett Arena on Arizona State’s campus, many NHL fans are beginning to wonder if relocation is in the cards for the franchise.
At the moment, there are no plans to move the franchise in the immediate future, but hockey fans were still fervent in their relocation ideas all the same. And jumping into the conversation on Wednesday was none other than Mahomes, who — of course — pitched Kansas City as a relocation spot for the Coyotes.
KC coyotes has a nice ring to it! @NHL what y’all think? @tmobilecenter

Given Mahomes’ pull as quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs and the NFL’s biggest superstar, you’d have to think his pitch holds some weight with the NHL, right? It never hurts to try!
