The father of Arizona Coyotes star Clayton Keller says his Twitter account was hacked following a series of tweets slamming the NHL team.

The Coyotes on Wednesday tweeted a statement that they were "disappointed" after Tempe voters rejected an arena deal in the city.

Tweets from Bryan Keller's account, which have since been deleted, ripped the organization in the replies.

"Keller will not be there at the beginning of the season and expect others to follow or not sign," one tweet read. "Team will be moved, there are no other options and Phoenix will regret losing a professional sports team. City just got diluted from a perception standpoint. Privately financed too."

"Fix was in from the beginning to keep that beautiful land fill !! LOL. Compare that to the public $$$$ to Oakland A's are asking from tax payers - $$$$," read another.

Because Tempe voters rejected the deal, talks of the Coyotes moving has gained steam.

But Bryan Keller says he did not write or send those tweets.
