Jim Ballsilie’s hopes of absconding to Ontario with the Phoenix Coyotes were dealt a slight blow Wednesday, as the Glendale City Council expressed its support for the NHL’s bid for the team.
Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes was not nearly as supportive of keeping the team in Glendale:
“The city of Glendale would be better off without hockey. This team is going to be gone in a year,” [Moyes] said.
Moyes was only allowed to say a few words at the council’s meeting before he was asked to leave.
