We Have Fans

I have seen numerous hockey fans from around North America rooting for the Coyotes to go all the way now. I am choosing to ignore the people who call themselves fans who are rooting for us to lose so I just concentrate on the good fans.

I have gotten messages from fans on Twitter, Facebook, and other places genuinely hoping the Coyotes can ride this thing for as long as possible and going all the way. I have friends here in town that have never watched a hockey game before, starting to follow the games and even tuning in to watch. This is such a wonderful feeling to see these people root for us.

I hope that everyone will continue to welcome them and show them the ropes. These are the fans that are going to buy a 4 pack next season, love it so much they will upgrade to a 10 game pack. In a couple of years they will not be able to stay away and they will become full season ticket holders.

Welcome to Coyote Country everyone. Sit back, stay a long time and enjoy this wonderful ride we like to call hockey.

Jamison at Coyotes game

So Greg Jamison was at the game. He was just standing in the lower lever in the hall by that Belgium beer kiosk. During the OT intermission myself and a couple of friends went up to him and talked to him. He was amazing and very accessible. He said not to give up on the sale. He certainly did not give us any inside information BUT, he said he has followed this teams situation for a long time and he knows the real story on the past financial issues and he is sure we can be very successful here. He said he has been working on this deal for a long time. I told him that I am trying to not read the media and he replied with don't listen to the media at all!

 Dumb me should have asked about buying the arena and westgate.

 Anyway, it was a very, very cool experience and I can only hope he is the new owner.
