For the first time in 9 years, the @arizonacoyotes added a new name to their Ring of Honor. On April 17, 2021, the organization inducted young hockey player and fan Leighton Accardo into its Ring of Honor, her name and memory to always be seen and remembered inside Gila River Arena. Leighton, who died at age 9 last November after a long battle with cancer, was beloved by the Coyotes' players, coaches and staff from when she first spent time around the team. Accardo became the first person who’s not a player, broadcaster, or GM to be added to a team’s Ring of Honor in the entire NHL. Her name joins Wayne Gretzky, Keith Tkachuk, Jeremy Roenick, Teppo Numminen, Dale Hawerchuk, Thomas Steen, and Bobby Hull inside Gila River Arena. #leightonstrong #nhlhockey
