The story of Leighton Accardo and her place in Arizona Coyotes lore is forever cemented in the Coyotes' Ring of Honor. Now that the team is expected to move to Utah, the Accardo's are trying to remember the good times.
Tomorrow, the Arizona Coyotes will play their last game of the season and likely their last one in the Valley before the team moves out of state. The Coyotes have meant a lot to hockey fans across the Valley over the years, but there was no bigger fan than a little girl who captured Arizona's hearts. If you don't know the Leighton Accardo story, just know that everyone in a Coyotes jersey rallied around her. The team embraced the Coyotes super fan after she was diagnosed with cancer.
There's the annual Skatin' for Leighton event that raises money for youth female hockey in Arizona and the Leighton Accardo Scholarship fund that helps provide girls with education through the Arizona Kachina program."Leighton didn't get to finish playing hockey. She didn't get to have that hockey career so it's important to us to help other girls," her mother said.
