Mullett Arena (originally ASU Multi-Purpose Arena) is an indoor multipurpose arena at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. The 5,000-seat arena is the home of the men's ice hockey, women's ice hockey, women's volleyball, and men's wrestling teams as well as the NBA G League's Valley Suns. It served as a temporary venue for the National Hockey League's Arizona Coyotes from 2022 to 2024, with seating capacity for NHL games capped at 4,600. The facility is owned by Arizona State University and managed by Oak View Group. In November 2020, the Arizona Board of Regents' finance committee approved plans for a new 5,000-seat on-campus multipurpose arena, which replaced the privately operated Oceanside Ice Arena, which had been leased by the university long-term, as the Sun Devils men's hockey facility starting in 2022. Originally known as the Multi-Purpose Arena, it is also used for women's hockey, men's wrestling, women's volleyball, and community hockey events. With their lease agreement at Gila River Arena expiring after the 2021-22 NHL season, the Arizona Coyotes were in talks by January 2022 with Arizona State University to temporarily use the ASU facility for what was to be their next three to four NHL seasons. On February 10, 2022, the Coyotes signed what was to be a three-year agreement to play their home games at ASU's facility, beginning with the 2022-23 NHL season. The additional cost of completing the arena to accommodate the Coyotes was approximately $19.7 million, which was paid for by the team. During the Coyotes' short tenure in the building, it officially had the lowest permanent seating capacity in the NHL in the modern-day era. On August 23, 2022, Arizona State University unveiled the new facility name as Mullett Arena. It is in honor of Donald and Barbara Mullett, two of the university's benefactors. On October 14, 2022, the Sun Devils men's hockey team played their first ever game at the arena against the Colgate Raiders. Josh Doan (son of former
