Gov Ned Lamont said Friday that he plans to meet with the commissioner of the NHL about the possibility of moving the league’s Arizona Coyotes franchise to Hartford, the Associated Press reported.
He’d like the meeting with Commissioner Gary Bettman to take place next week, the AP reported. Talk of a relocation for the Coyotes have come up following voters in Tempe, Arizona rejecting a referendum for a $2.3 billion entertainment district that would allow the franchise to build a new arena there, the AP reported.
