The Arizona Coyotes are no more. While it’s not confirmed what the newest iteration of the team will be based in Utah, reports that suggest a move to Salt Lake City is a done deal essentially closing the book on the team’s stint between 1996 to 2024.
Arizona finished 7th in the Central, missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but they beat the Oilers 5-2 in their last-ever game in Arizona *and* something incredible happened when Coyotes legend Shane Doan was reunited with his lost banner (but not in Arizona).
Shane Doan was presented with the banner by the Arizona Coyotes upon his retirement. He’s currently an assistant with the Leafs and on the final night of the season he was reunited with the banner that was accidentally thrown in the trash years ago after it was left behind at the Gila River Arena when the Coyotes moved stadiums.
Here’s the footage of Shane Doan being reunited with his banner:

Shane Doan’s lost banner was rescued from a dumpster at the stadium, the same fan who brought it back to Doan in the video above and got to share his story:
