1996–97 Phoenix Coyotes season
Encyclopedia
The 1996–97 season was the Coyotes' first in Phoenix.
The Winnipeg Jets team was sold to Phoenix businessmen Steven Gluckstern and Richard Burke, and in 1996, the club moved to Arizona
and became the Phoenix Coyotes.
In the summer that the move took place, the franchise saw the exit of Jets stars like Teemu Selanne
and Alexei Zhamnov
, while the team added established superstar Jeremy Roenick
from the Chicago Blackhawks
. Roenick teamed up with power wingers Keith Tkachuk
and Rick Tocchet
to form a dynamic 1–2–3 offensive punch that led the Coyotes through their first years in Arizona. Also impressive were young players like Shane Doan
(the last remaining original Jet), Oleg Tverdovsky
, and goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin
, whom the fans nicknamed the "Bulin Wall."
