NHL to Arizona
What is "NHL to Arizona"?
NHL to Arizona is a community-driven movement powered by the Matt Shott Arizona Hockey Legacy Foundation. We aim to galvanize the community to support the efforts of the advisory panel for pro hockey in Arizona led by Andrea Doan.
Our mission is simple: bring the NHL back to Arizona — and make it thrive for generations.
This isn’t just about NHL hockey. It’s about proving that the game belongs in the desert, fueled by:
- Youth programs like Shott’s Tots, introducing the game to new families every season
- Community leagues and grassroots initiatives that keep the sport accessible
- Partnerships with rinks, associations, and local leaders who believe hockey can grow here
When you support NHL to Arizona, you’re not just cheering for a team’s return. You’re investing in the future of hockey in our state, from the first pair of skates to the next generation of NHL stars.
