Some career news: Starting today, I'm taking over as Head of Content at
@PHNX_Sports
!
Like the saying goes, when one door closes (the team you cover relocates) another door opens.
I'm so excited for this next chapter for our network & I can't wait to see what we can accomplish!

The Coyotes were contacted. No one went to go get it.
The banner should have been taken down and stored when the team left Gila River Arena. The arena kept the banner and threw it away without contacting the Coyotes or Shane Doan. Truly pathetic on their part.

By the way, this tweet is how some members of the staff found out they’re losing their jobs.
And they still don’t know when they will get paid until, have insurance until, etc.
The hockey operations side of the Arizona Coyotes (players, coaches, trainers) will be moving to Utah not the business side.

“More than the results, the Coyotes experience was always about people. It was always about relationships. It was always about community.”
Last night's crescendo of a column had me flustered for a full week. I couldn't decide on an approach for this key moment in Coyotes history.
