The Arizona Coyotes return to Mullett Arena in Tempe on Oct. 21 for their home opener against the Anaheim Ducks. And starting with the first puck drop on home ice, the Coyotes are offering 18 nights of in-arena events and giveaways throughout the NHL season. Some are beyond stellar.

From wigs to a nostalgic trip down memory lane, these are some of our favorite freebies and promotional nights that hometown fans will enjoy this season.

Theme nights and promotions are subject to change, so check the schedule in advance.

Oct. 21 vs. Anaheim Ducks: Mullet wigs

Like the Coyotes themselves, this giveaways aim to come out of the gate hot. The team will crown all Mullet Arena fans in attendance on Opening Night with kachina trucker hat mullet wigs. Unlike the hairstyle that is solely a party in the back, the Coyotes encourage all fans – those in the nosebleed seats and throughout the – arena, to bring the party with them to celebrate the launch of a new season.

Oct. 27 vs. Los Angeles Kings: Coyotes Pride T-shirt

Show your “True Colors” as a Coyotes fan with Pride Night. Sure, most pro sports teams salute their LGBTQ+ fans. But the ones who sit in a chilly arena for hockey deserve a little something extra. Fans can purchase a special ticket package that includes a Coyotes Pride T-shirt. Glitter sold separately.

Nov. 2 vs. Montreal Canadiens: Los Yotes sweatshirts

Noche con los Yotes! Prepare for a vibrant Yote-y fiesta on Nov. 2 as the Coyotes invite fans to celebrate Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. The arena will come together to cheer on both the Canadiens’ demise and the joy of receiving a free Los Yotes crewneck sweatshirt courtesy of Dignity Health.

Jan. 2 vs. Florida Panthers: Crossbody bag

New year, new you. It’s time to tuck your old habits and mistakes into a bag meant never to be seen again.

Better yet, during the following week, the bag will make the perfect place to store your newest broken resolution. 

Jan. 7 vs. Winnipeg Jets: Howler’s Birthday

Jan. 7 is Howler’s Birthday and Kids Day, meaning shenanigans and cake are involved. Join the celebration as everyone’s favorite Coyote, Howler, and his furry friends throw a family-friendly party.
