The Coyotes triggered a new chapter in their hockey history with the decision to not bring back longtime captain Shane Doan, news that became public Monday after Doan was told Saturday.
Doan shared a detailed account of how he learned of the team’s decision but also opened up about what his future could look like, reflected on what his time as a Coyote has meant to him and passed along a message to fans.

Doan was told he wouldn’t be offered a contract by the Coyotes during a Saturday morning sit-down with General Manager John Chayka at First Watch in Scottsdale, a place Doan often frequents and usually eats at with his family Saturdays during the season.
