Alex Meruelo's ownership of Arizona Coyotes ends, NHL advises sale to Utah Jazz owners, team temporarily renamed Utah Hockey Club.
Alex Meruelo is reportedly leaving his ownership role with the Arizona Coyotes after the team's plan to purchase land in Phoenix fell through and the NHL advised him to sell the franchise to the Utah Jazz owners in April. The Utah Jazz moved the team to Salt Lake City and renamed it the Utah Hockey Club. Meruelo retained the Coyotes' name, logo and trademark, planning to resurrect the team as an expansion franchise if a new arena is built within five years.
