Daily Roundup: Oakland Vice Mayor Looking to Recruit NHL’s Coyotes

The NHL wants to keep the Coyotes in Arizona. But that doesn’t stop cities from lobbying to land a team that doesn’t have an arena lease after this season.

The Vice Mayor of Oakland Rebecca recently tweeted her interest in having the Coyotes move to Oakland Arena.

Even though this isn’t likely to happen, would you love to see a team in Oakland again. But you would have to change the team to Seals and players need to wear white skates.

Yes! To the @ArizonaCoyotes & anyone interested in the fabulous & well-located Oakland Arena for your sports team: We recently approved terms for a WNBA team, which will allow the team, and the tax payers, to both prosper.
