iâm too lazy to change my layout on here but i hope you guys are holding the menâs usa hockey team accountable for meeting with a dictator. iâve completely rebranded everywhere else because in no way would i want to be associated, or like someone who can shake hands with trump. i do not like jack hughes or quinn hughes or luke hughes. i donât like any of the team usa members, including keller. yall need to learn to put morals before hockey. itâs apparent that a lot of you donât.
this is irking me sooo bad. if u genuinely think that the coyotes were not loved in arizona u may be a little brain dead. everywhere i went in az there was always a trace of them somewhere!!! at bars!! at arcades!! the coyotes were everywhere and we CHERISHED THEM!!!!!
stop creating this narrative! utah fans can like their team without demonizing arizona fans!! u donât have to tear down coyotes fans to make utah fans seem grateful i PROMISE
how does utah manage to suck the fun and life out of every hockey game they participate in when by all accounts (& my own recollection) the coyotes were fun and zesty???
Now you may be wondering what is this? This is me trying my best to explain the dynamic between 5 coyotes players/prospects (i lost my mind while making this enjoy)
For this, they are still going to be called âcoyotesâ because utah hcers or clubbers doesnât sound correct.
First of all, what is this? This is a primer explaining to you the dynamics going on for the younger coyote* players/prospects.
*when I started writing this conor geekie was still a coyote
Let's start with the basics: who is involved and who are these people?
Dylan Guenther: he was drafted 9th overall in the 2021 draft heâs a LW/RW. You probably know him for scoring the 2023 WJC team Canada golden goal.
Logan Cooley: drafted 3rd overall in 2022 and is a centre. Growing up he was in the Little Penguins program but was an Ovi/caps fan. You probably know him for his insane Australia pregame goal.
Josh Doan: 37th overall draft pick in 2021 and is a RW/C. He is the son of Arizona Coyotes legend Shane Doan. Destined to continue the Doan dynasty then Utah happened. Josh Doan is one of the only forms of nepotism I like and it was ripped away from me⊠hey Siri play, Rolling in the Deep by Adele because we couldâve had it all.
Conor Geekie: drafted 11th overall in 2022 and is a centre. He was recently traded to Tampa and Iâm just⊠Iâm sad. **
**I finished writing and editing it well after he got traded but I canât be bothered to change this đđ
Maveric Lamoureux: drafted 29th overall in 2022 and is a defenceman. Heâs a big man (6â7ft/201cm) with a big heart (WJC 2024 you wound me).
2022 Draft
This is where Logan Cooley, Maveric Lamoureux and Conor Geekie met each other. As previously mentioned, cools went 3rd, geeks went 11th and mav went 29th, all first-rounders. This draft was significant for the coyotes as these three finally set the foundation for the coyotes rebuild. Like of course Dylan was the main piece of the rebuild for a long time but with these three it finally stabilised the young future aspect of the coyotes rebuild.
Development camp was right after the draft so the three of them hopped on a plane to Arizona, Maveric had the aisle seat and was sitting next to Logan, across from Geekie.

2022 Coyotes Development Camp
This section will be brief because, for the life of me, I couldnât find anything.
All 5 of them were invited for the week.Â
Logan roomed with Josh.Â
Conor got injured on the first day of camp and had to sit out the rest of it
Conor, Maveric and Logan did an interview together that was fun. I skimmed through it not really taking notes on the important things so instead you get to hear my favourite moments instead
Geekie used to play with the Arizona Coyotes on EA NHL being, "they're the team with the nice jerseys."
Sidenote the the difference between all three accents is so fun because you'll be listening and it's a french accent then boom american
Conor looked like he was dying this whole interview, he looked like he was overheating and about to cry
2023 Coyotes Development Camp
Roommates: All 5 of the boys were invited to camp. Cooley and Geekie roomed together, I don't know who roomed with Dylan, but Josh roomed with Ilya Fedotov and Maveric roomed with Justin Kipkie.Â
D-Backs: Logan was invited to throw the first pitch. Josh, Conor, Maveric and Dylan were invited to the pitch, while everyone else sat up in the box.
Before the game Conor was asked about Logan throwing the first pitch and if he would make it Conor had zero faith in Cools saying, âno, thereâs no chance.â Obviously he said it jokingly.
The boys were also chirping him but I don't know what they said, sorry.
But donât worry Logan did a good job and the boys were proud of him.
Also this clip, that i donât know how to describe other than Logan making the boys giggle.
INSIDE ACCESS EP 203: Foundation for the Future: this is a video the Arizona Coyotes YouTube channel put out and is a look into what happens at development camp. A brief breakdown: (obviously focusing on those 5)
Day 1: Introductions; meet the staff, meet your peers, get to know the program and whatâs going to happen
Day 2: testing + training
Day 3: community; this is where we get to see their personalities. This day player spend time with the community learning what it truly means to be an Arizona Coyotes
Josh Doan is amazing with kids (especially this moment), encouraging them and making sure they have fun. He also hypes up other guy in dev camp. Overall Josh Doan is a positive guy.
Maveric Lamoureux is also good with kids, not as loud as Josh but he was having a good time
Conor Geekie almost hits a kid on accident, but he was having fun building lego
Dylan Guenther is just not being shown, but heâs his (lowkey) awkward but reserved little self.
Logan Cooley also isnât shown much either but he looked like he was having fun
This day the boys also learned how to cook (or as the nutritionist described it, putting the correct food into your body)Â
Dylan and Logan were on the same team and Dylan looked s t r e s s e d.
Josh was being his usual extraverted self
Maveric was having fun getting up to the tiniest bit of mischief
Conor was also having fun, but wasnât shown a lot in this section
This is also when they went to the d-backers game.
Day 4: Black + White Scrimmage;
Team white: Lamoureux, Cooley
Team black: Geekie, Doan
For the life of me i could not find what team Guenther was on
After the game in the handshake line, i just⊠just watch, Iâm at a loss for words

Side note: on the 7th (or 6th depending where you're from) of July 2024 Conor Geekie deleted all his Arizona posts except the draft, but luckily this photo and comment were saved. Â

2023 World Juniors
Dylan and Logan were both invited to world juniors by their respective countries. Dylan won gold (đšđŠ) and Logan got bronze (đșđž).
After the tournament was over Logan said this about Dylan
"He's a great player, and I'm really looking forward to be able to play on the same team as him."
"Obviously Canada is a rival and I wasn't pumped to see them win, but if anyone had to score it, I'm glad it was him."
"...but if anyone had to score, I'm glad it was him."
making this a quote is necessary actually.
2023-24 NHL SEASON:
Hey! it's logan cooley's rookie season
Here's a list of every single time Logan Cooley and Dylan Guenther connected on a goal; throughout the season they were put on a line together, especially towards the end of the season.

This game gets its own section: Arizona Coyotes @ Vancouver Canucks: April 10, 2024
First of all it was Dylan's birthday. Second of all this was the day the first report from sportsnet dropped saying the NHL has created 2 schedules one for Utah and one for Arizona. Other notes:
Dylan had a 4 point night (1G-3A)
On Dylan's goal Cooley was the first and only assist
The game heads into OT AND LOGAN COOLEY SCORES WITH A GUENTHER PRIMARY ASSIST WOOOO00! one one of the worst days to be a coyotes fan or just a coyotes player in general. THEY WON THE GAME TOGETHER!!! I did cry while watching this game thank you for asking.
March 26th 2024 one of the most important day in coyotes history: Josh Doan's debut!!!
Josh got his first goal (no one credited on the assist)
Then he got his second goal (be becomes the first and only arizona coyote to score 2 or more goals in their debut)
and then Dylan got a shot handed goal (no one credited on the assist)
Josh Doan first star of the night
2023-24 AHL SEASON:
Josh and Dylan both started the season as Tucson Roadrunners
Dylan Guenther was recalled to the coyotes Jan. 6th
Dylan was announced as the roadrunners all stars selection but he was in the NHL so the roadrunners sent Josh instead
Conor Geekie was also put on the roster but he never ended up playing a game for the Roadrunners in the regular season, instead he was playing in the WHL (Western Hockey League)
All the times Josh and Dylan connected on a goal:
Tucson Roadrunners vs Ontario Reign: November 10, 2023: Guenther goal, Doan primary assist
Tucson Roadrunners vs Bakersfield Condors, October 27, 2023: Doan goal, Guenther primary assist

Calder Cup Playoffs:
Michael Kesselring, along with Josh and Dylan were sent down to the AHL to play in the Calder Cup Playoffs, while the rest of the coyotes were in Utah doing the welcome to Utah thing.
Conor Geekie was loaned the the Roadrunners after the Swift Broncos were eliminated from the Memorial Cup Playoffs, and made his AHL debut the first playoff game against the wranglers
The Tucson Roadrunners ended up playing 2 games before getting eliminated by the Calgary Wranglers :/
The Tucson Roadrunners might have been shit in the playoffs but PHNX Sports podcast comes through a provides; Dylan Guenther, Josh Doan Ready For Tucson Roadrunners Playoff Run: Notes from Dylan's interviewđ
(context: Dylan was asked but staying up in the NHL and taking advantage of his opportunity):
CRAIG MORGAN: ...when did you really start to feel like it (playing in the NHL) started to click, up there?
DYLAN: ... take advantage of the opportunity. I got a pretty good opportunity heading in right away, like and uh that's just what I tried to do is to take advantage. So I felt like as I went on, I developed chemistry with, you know, with Cools. But also you know, a lot of the players, all the guys on the team and I was having a lot of fun doing it. I think that's a big important piece is having fun when you're playing to and I think that helped me.
Yes, that whole quote was necessary but I love that Dylan points out he developed great chemistry with cools then quickly added everyone else on. Other moments from the podcast:
Dylan enjoys cooking but he doesn't want it out there that he *might* be a good cook (this man hates being perceived). Then craig... oh craig, he said Dylan being a good cook will make Dylan a great bachelor. And I died of laughter
He loves to describe the team as driven and hungary
Notes from Josh's interview đ
He was wearing a cowboy hat but sadly couldn't wear it for the interview because of the headset
Josh wanted to end the hockey season back down in the AHL which surprises people because people who are in the NHL don't want to be sent down. But Josh's reason is because he loves the game and the team and the boys mean so much to him. (Him loving Arizona and not wanting to leave goes unsaid)
Shane calls Josh a nerd
Then the host started chirping Josh about his cooking/him and his special steak. Josh calls his steak cooking ability, "one of his many trait at home."
Then he started chirping but also complementing Aku RĂ€ty, saying he's a good cleaner and smoothie maker
He says his job is to make the room stay light and positive
He also said that he went into the NHL saying to himself to be a nuisance on the forecheck đ
Ten they started talking about arizona hockey and i got sad :( then the interview ends
2024 World Juniors
Maveric and Conor were invited to worlds by team canada and got 4th.
They did a the TNS promotional video âteam Canada calls out their teammates for funâ where Mav bullied geeks for his knob because ofc have you seen it. Great banter.
2024 off-season
First off all how fucking dare they trade geeks LIKE?!??! HELLO??! UTAH??!? NO?? (as you can see it's been 2 months since the trade and i'm not over it)
The draft: Utah HC held a draft party where dylan and josh were signing autographs (it feels like sacrilege seeing them (epically josh) wearing utah gear) (sorry kid i just don't want you face on the internet)

We save the best for last: Whatever this was
Context (ig??): at the start of the 2023-24 season after a few games Cools made a post thanking his friends family and anyone who helped him get to the going of where he is. It's really sweet then conor geekie commented his...
WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN?? hello? context?? please,,
