For 60 minutes, they got one last chance to watch the team they came to love before the franchise, as they know it is no more. The Arizona Coyotes are moving to Salt Lake City in a deal they could sign in less than 24 hours after Wednesday night’s 5-2 win over Edmonton. Hockey could return within five years, but the stark reality is this is the end for the foreseeable future.

SUMMER
On opening day, in the first inning, Tyson Hernandez, age nine, of Bullard, was on second base attempting to steal third. He was sliding, feet first when he was hit in the chest with the ball. Tyson’s dad, Armando Hernandez Jr., is one of his coaches and went to help him back to the bench. Several coaches in the medical field began performing chest compressions. Ten compressions were administered before his pulse came back. Now, a cardiologist has cleared Tyson to play again.
