The lease is official in Tucson, so now it's time for the Coyotes to figure out how to create the synergy they need in order to keep hockey successful for them and their AHL squad next season. While it was called an "absolute financial disaster," the Adirondack Thunder are hoping for a bigger boost next season-- which has gotten underway already.
