"I'm really excited to be there on game day as a fan, I know that the Fire Pit is a great place for entertainment and I know my family will love it too."<\/p>\n

Phoenix CEO Tommy Greer was delighted by the partnership, calling it a "no-brainer" for Cotchin and the Phoenix to align.<\/p>\n

"Trent has had success, we are looking for our first championship, so we'd love to gleam any nuggets of knowledge he can share so we can convert that into wins, and hopefully titles," Greer said.<\/p>\n

"He's also a family-man, he's got three little ones with Brooke, so we can't wait for them to see the lights and action of the Phoenix games and become part of our family."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
