PROFILE |
 |
The Great One hopes to keep Phoenix hockey fans howling. The Phoenix Coyotes Hockey Club, which owns and operates that city's NHL franchise, was sold in 2001 to a group led by Steve Ellman and hockey great Wayne Gretzky for about $125 million. President Shawn Hunter and Swift Transportation CEO Jerry Moyes also have stakes in the Coyotes. Formerly the Winnipeg Jets, the team was acquired by Richard Burke and Steven Gluckstern and moved to Phoenix in 1996. (Gluckstern sold his share to Burke in 1998 in order to buy the New York Islanders.) The Coyotes play host at 19,000-seat America West Arena, but are moving to Phoenix suburb Glendale, which has agreed to spend $180 million to build a new arena for the team, in either 2003 or 04.
