The Phoenix Coyotes plan to offer special deals to their fans during a lockout-shortened NHL season (AP File Photo).
Just a day after Shane Doan helped orchestrate an end to the NHL's 113-day lockout, the Coyotes captain was rather candid about what the league needs to do moving forward to repair its strained relationship with the fans.

"I think just a humble apology for everything and that we're going to do everything we can to earn back their appreciation of the sport," Doan said "There's no use in saying whose fault it is or who did what, we all owe them an apology."

It seems Doan's organization was listening.

The league is set to drop the puck officially on January 19, but the Phoenix Coyotes are planning something special for fans during their one-week training camp.

According to Mike Sunnucks of the Phoenix Business Journal, the organization plans to allow fans an opportunity to watch the reigning Pacific Division champions in a free inter-squad game.

But that's not all.

Coyotes president and COO Mike Nealy told Sannucks that once the 48-game schedule is announced, the team will determine specific dates to offer fan appreciation deals.

    Oops meant "Intentional Talk"
    not Hot Stove...I never miss either and just got confused. I really liked the Alice Cooper bobble head that came out last year. Really though, the team dosen't have to do much. None of them do. It is GREAT to have the opportunity to watch ALL the Phoenix pro teams and of all of them that i have been to, the Coyotes games have been the very best in excitement.

    Just Drop It..
    I will be joining the 'Just Drop It' pledge and not attending, watching or purchasing any NHL anything for the first 10 games of the season, but I do look forward to the other 38 games that I will watch. Go Yotes!

    Just Drop It??
    Seriously, if you're a Coyotes fan, we can't afford to have people that are planning on boycotting anything NHL related. I am annoyed that we had to wait for mid January to start the season, but the NHL has shown a commitment to Arizona and Glendale. I plan on attending as many games as I can afford to, and any other Coyotes fan should do the same. If fans of other teams in the bigger hockey markets care to boycott their teams, so be it, but when we're still waiting for an announcement about ownership, it is not the time to send a message.

    I agree 100%
    This city is so close to being another "Atlanta" before they moved to Calgary, that it ain't funny. EVERYONE on Hockey News just watches the stats and thr stats they watch for the Coyotes is "attendance". You can't find a writer in that magazine that dosen't bring up Phoenix in their article and mentions Quebec City, Hamilton or Seattle in the same sentence SUPPORT THEM!
