However, help already is on the way, thanks to the Arizona Coyotes. Around 5:30 a.m., a trailer with the license plate number 24341C was removed from the Ice Den located at 56th Street and Harrison Street, the post states. The "players and teams are devastated by the situation and (are] now scrambling to prepare for the season," the post read. Ice Den Chandler later commented on its own post, saying, "We remain optimistic that the gear will be located." For more stories that matter, subscribe to azcentral.com. The Arizona Coyotes posted on Twitter on Monday morning that, "New equipment is on the way." The tweet read, "Our team, led by Captain Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Lawson Crouse and the Coyotes organization, led by Ahron Cohen, will be donating $10,000 each ($20K total) to the Arizona Bobcats Hockey team to replace their stolen hockey equipment". The Ice Den Chandler is asking that if you have information regarding the incident please call the Chandler police non-emergency silent tip line: (480) 782-4440, according to the post. Police did not immediately respond with comment. Arizona Republic LOADED: 08.13.2019 1150841 Arizona Coyotes Arizona Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo's popular quote now featured on shirt Jeremy Cluff, Arizona Republic Published 8:59 a.m. MT Aug. 12, 2019 In his introduction as the new owner of the Arizona Coyotes earlier this month, Alex Meruelo said: “I sure as s**t want to win.” The quote quickly became very popular on social media. Now, it's been turned into a shirt. The Coyotes recently announced that a shirt featuring the quote can be purchased at the team's official store. You asked for it, you got it. Available now at @theCoyotesDen. pic.twitter.com/rLopBEexkk — Arizona Coyotes (@ArizonaCoyotes) August 10, 2019 The shirt is bound to be popular with a fan base that, well, really wants to win. Meruelo is bound to be popular if the team does win. The Coyotes haven't made the postseason since the 2011-12 season. The team finished four points out of a playoff berth last season. Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo speaks to the media at a press conference announcing Meruelo's new ownership of the Coyotes at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz. on July 31, 2019. “I have this knack for picking up businesses that are broken, losing money and turning them around and making them successful,” Meruelo said during his introductory news conference. “I don’t see the Coyotes in that situation but they have problems as we all know. It’s not a secret. "But I’m very committed to this state, to the Valley, to the fans of Arizona. I’ll do everything I can in my heart and in my hard work to make sure we can make it viable.” Winning would be nice, but Meruelo will also be popular with the Coyotes' fan base if he keeps the team in Arizona, as well. How about you just win and then you can offer shirts that say Stanley Cup Champs? I've seen enough gimmicks from the Coyotes over the years. — Tim Jarrell (@TimJarrellAZ) August 10, 2019 Arizona Republic LOADED: 08.13.2019 1150842 Arizona Coyotes NHL Network names Coyotes’ Phil Kessel a top-20 winger in the NHL BY TOM KUEBEL AUGUST 12, 2019 AT 3:20 PM The Arizona Coyotes added one of the top players at his position this offseason in acquiring winger Phil Kessel.
