They finally have a rink to call their own. Thursday night, the Arizona Kachinas skate on home ice for the first time.
The Coyotes Community Ice Center officially opened its doors Thursday morning as the Kachinas' new home, with ribbon cutting by Lyndsey Fry, Kachinas President.
Leighton Accardo, 8, was the ceremony's guest of honor. Leighton is a player in the Kachinas Association fighting stage IV cancer. She participated remotely in the ceremony from her room at the Phoenix Children's Hospital with the assistance of an OhmniLabs robot. She provided the official ribbon-cutting countdown.
