Sonoran Hot Reads: Tucson one step closer to having an AHL team

Are you ready for professional hockey in Tucson?

It's been a few years since Tucson has been home to a professional sports franchise, but that era appears to be coming to a close. Yet another obstacle was cleared to bring an AHL franchise to the Tucson Convention Center on Tuesday when the NHL Board of Governors approved the Coyotes' request to purchase the Springfield franchise and relocate it to Tucson. It's still to be seen if this will have an impact on the University of Arizona club team and its status, but you would have to think that this will do nothing but good for the hockey scene in the Old Pueblo, especially with the development of youth leagues
