Could the Arizona Coyotes relocate after their new arena was rejected by Tempe voters? Speculation is running rampant.

The Houston Coyotes? Kansas City Coyotes? Salt Lake City Coyotes? Milwaukee Coyotes? Atlanta Coyotes? Quebec City Coyotes?

Arizona Coyotes’ relocation speculation is swirling on social media after voters in Tempe rejected a new arena deal for the NHL franchise in the city during an election Tuesday by shooting down Propositions 301, 302 and 303.

After NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman issued a statement saying that “we are going to review with the Coyotes what the options might be going forward,” Twitter chatter immediately turned to possible cities where Arizona’s NHL team could relocate.

And there were a lot of familiar names in the speculation, including Houston and Kansas City, as well as other cities.

Could the Coyotes be done in Arizona after voters rejected the new arena? What could be next for the team? Could the team really move? Where could it relocate?
