It might not be a surprise, but hockey has struggled to survive in the desert heat. Coyotes Hockey owns and operates the Phoenix Coyotes professional hockey franchise, which plays host at Jobing.com Arena in the suburb of Glendale, Arizona. The team was originally known as the Winnipeg Jets and started playing in the fledgling World Hockey League in 1972. After joining the National Hockey League in 1979, the Jets moved to the Arizona desert in 1996. A group led by trucking magnate Jerry Moyes, founder and owner of Swift Transportation, and hockey great Wayne Gretzky owns the club. Coyotes Hockey filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009.
