Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka publicly criticizes his own organization
In a recent interview, Arizona Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka showed remarkable transparency when questioned about his team's situation, playing in a small college arena.
It's likely to cause waves, but his honesty is appreciated.
Bold Statement
Here's a summary of his bold statement:
"I don't think a single game was sold out this year. It was mostly away fans too. The prices are stupid, $160 for the cheapest seat in a tiny university arena"
Wow!
Vejmelka, 27 years old, 6 feet 4 inches, and 224 pounds, is the starting goaltender for the Coyotes and is under contract with Arizona until 2025 with a salary of $2.725 million per season.
He played 50 games for the Coyotes last season, maintaining a record of 18-24-6, with a 3.41 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage.
Comments like these could potentially put him on the trade market. Clearly, he is trying to bring attention to the situation and it deserves to be acknowledged.
