The Birds have landed! Coachella Valley Firebirds arrive in Palm Springs as a team

Finally, they're home!

The Coachella Valley Firebirds flew into Palm Springs International Airport Sunday evening around 6:30 p.m.

It was the first time in franchise history that the team landed together in Palm Springs.

Since Acrisure Arena is still under construction, the team has been using the Kraken's facilities in Seattle, training at the Kraken Community Iceplex since October.

A Firebirds spokesperson confirmed they are moving their entire operation from Seattle to the Coachella Valley.

The team will start training at the Berger Foundation Community Iceplex this week.

The Firebirds will make their desert debut at Acrisure Arena on Sunday, Dec. 18.
