The Arizona Coyotes did the right thing by agreeing to stage an NHL preseason game at Tucson Arena against the Anaheim Ducks. The Tucson Roadrunners began their inaugural season, 2016, with limited promotion and marketing time and finished 31st of 32 teams in the American Hockey League in attendance, at just over 4,000 per game. The NHL game, staged on Monday, Sept. 25, should spread the message in Tucson better than any series of promotions.
