In 1996, the original Winnipeg Jets relocated to Phoenix, becoming the Arizona Coyotes. After one year competing with the Coyotes for fans, the Roadrunners folded at the end of the 1996-97 season. Coincidentally, the Coyote's AHL affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners, share the name and similar logo to the displaced IHL team.
