AHL's Roadrunners vote to keep team in Tucson for at least 30 games next season

The Roadrunners are staying in Tucson. The AHL affiliate of the Arizona Coyotes announced on Tuesday the team will play at least 30 games at Tucson Arena next season, thwarting owner Alex Meruelo's plans to move the team to Mullett Arena in Tempe. The Rio Nuevo District's board of directors voted 9-0 to keep the team in town, pre-empting an expected vote late this week by the AHL's Board of Governors on a potential move to Tempe.
