It really should be because it shouldn't have a lot of the things that contribute to bad ice.

Humidity is one of the biggest factors in ice quality. It's much worse than heat, which is easier to control with HVAC systems. Phoenix is one of the driest cities in the world. This is also why Vegas has consistently been rated some of the best ice in the league.

Another factor is controlling the interior temperature of a building full of people. 5,000 people don't generate as much body heat as 15,000 do. This also combines with the number of events held in the building. A busier arena has more temperature fluctuations. The ice has been in Mullett for a few weeks and last night was the 5th game played in the building and the first since last Saturday.

Finally, it's a brand new building, so the ice making equipment should all be working perfectly.
