The Mullett Arena is an indoor multi-purpose arena at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. It was originally known as ASU Multi-Purpose Arena during its planning and construction. The 5,000-seat arena is the home of the men’s ice hockey, women’s ice hockey, women’s gymnastics, and men’s wrestling teams. It serves as the current home arena for the NHL’s Arizona Coyotes.

Starting in the 2022-23 season, the Arizona Coyotes will be playing home games at Mullett Arena, a multi-purpose arena at Arizona State University. The team previously played at America West Arena from 1996 to 2003 before moving to Glendale Arena – which later became Gila River Arena and is now Desert Diamond Arena – during the 2003-04 NHL season.

The Mullett Arena opened on October 12th, 2022, and was named in honour of philanthropists and Arizona State University donors Donald “Donze” and Barbara Mullett. It includes two NHL regulation-size ice sheets, 20 luxury suites, a large club lounge and event-level premium club seats.
