WILL THIS PHOENIX RISE AGAIN? NEW ARENA COULD MEAN NEW NAME

          If the Coyotes are successful in getting an arena built
     in Scottsdale, "there is a good chance [the team] will
     change its name to the Arizona Coyotes," according to Les
     Polk of the AZ REPUBLIC, who writes that the name change was
     one of a "number of issues" Coyotes President Shawn Hunter
     touched on during a breakfast forum yesterday.  Hunter also
     said that the team "continues to operate as a 'non-profit'
     business, but would probably be able to turn a profit in
     their first year" in a new 18,000-seat arena.  Hunter, on a
     new arena's effect on the area: "I think we can do it
     without cannibalizing America West" (AZ REPUBLIC, 6/30).
