The Arizona Coyotes announced that the team’s final home game in Gila River Arena on Friday will be Fan Appreciation Night.

“Fan Appreciation Night is a long-standing Coyotes tradition which recognizes fans for their loyalty and support throughout the season,” the team said in a press release.

The first 5,000 fans in attendance for the game against the Nashville Predators will get a commemorative ticket. The first 7,500 fans will receive a 2021-22 team yearbook.

The Coyotes will also be celebrating the best moments and memories from their time inside the Glendale arena.

Former players Shane Doan, Jeremy Roenick, Curtis Joseph, Ray Whitney, Zbynek Michalek, Paul Bissonnette, Tyson Nash, Taylor Pyatt, Dave Scatchard and Carly Accardo, mother of Leighton Accardo, will all be in attendance.

Merchandise will be sold from 4:30-7:30 p.m., where there will be a 60% discount on howling head merchandise, according to the team.

After the game, 32 fans will get to go on the ice and take part in the “Jersey off our Backs” ceremony. The fans will receive an authentic Coyotes game-worn jersey from a player.

There will be a discount on concessions, including $3 hot dogs, $6 draft beers, $8 Ranch Water Tall Boy Cans, $5 margaritas and $2.50 candy, according to the release.
