Paul Rivers, chief innovation officer for Player 15 Group, the umbrella brand for Suns and Mercury owner Mat Ishbia’s holdings, discussed the possibility, without specifically mentioning the Coyotes or hockey, at a panel discussion as part of the Arizona chapter of Urban Land Institute’s Trends Day event.
“If it’s going to find its way back to the Valley, we have to make sure there’s a proper place for that particular sport to play,” Rivers said. In 2024, following the Coyotes' departure, Ishbia said he wanted to bring hockey back to downtown Phoenix.
