The Coyotes conducted a Zoom call Monday that was equal parts news conference and pep rally, complete with owner Alex Meruelo wearing a t-shirt imprinted with the sentence “I sure as s--t want to win.”
It’s not often you see someone wearing a t-shirt featuring his own quote, but as we’ve been reminded nearly daily in 2020, these are unusual times.
The main reason for the call was to announce Xavier Gutierrez as the Coyotes new president and CEO, replacing Ahron Cohen, who left the organization via the “mutually parted ways” door last spring.
Gutierrez, who went to Harvard for his undergrad degree and to Stanford for law school, was smart enough to say all the usual things.
