It's sports, man. You can switch whenever you want for whatever reason you want.

I see it’s okay to switch, but to who?

Yea to add to what Steel said, I think local (or closest) teams are often a good starting point or choice since you are more likely going to get the coverage for them and they are certainly more accessible than a team across the country. 

Another way to approach it is maybe certain players you like as well. I certainly find I like teams more when they have players that I like to watch on them.

I jumped on board the Kraken fandom right away. I love the jerseys, the way they're building the team with youth, the arena has history with part of it salvaged from the previous arena, yet a neat green arena. I didn't really have a favorite team before that though.

NBA I was a fan of Tim Duncan, and therefore the Spurs. I still want to see them do well, but after last season in the AltBA, I found that I was really excited about Ja Morant and the Grizzlies as a whole. So I absolutely switched. So with those sports being sports I don't follow too closely, I've picked my favorite based on either the aesthetic of the team or the players.

And in your example of the Coyotes, if you don't like the team anymore, that's fine. But take your time, see who you find yourself rooting for in general. You'll likely have the Kraken available to view in the area, but with ESPN+, you can pretty much watch any NHL team. I'm in Wisconsin and used it to watch every Kraken game so far this season.

Not sure if it makes things better or worse but that 5,000 seat stadium does not belong to the Coyotes nor did they build it / put a single cent into it. It is a gorgeous arena suitable for ASU hockey, the ones who actually unveiled it and call it theirs. It is not an "abomonation" in any way. The Coyotes are in the process of getting a new stadium approved and built. Right now they are freeloaders.

 
By abomination I meant the old arena, Gila River Arena (or Jobing.com arena). That place was total crap. Seems like most people here say Kraken. I went to a Kraken game in January and it was a great experience, so I have that going for me.
