Coyotes restructure front office with resignations of LeBlanc and Drummond

GLENDALE, Ariz. — After buying out his minority owners earlier this week, Arizona Coyotes owner Andrew Barroway has embarked on restructuring the team’s front office.

President and Chief Executive Officer Anthony LeBlanc and president of hockey operations Gary Drummond stepped down from their duties on Friday, with general counsel Ahron Cohen named as the new Chief Operating Officer.

The Coyotes will search for a new chief executive officer.

Arizona also announced that Cohen and general manager John Chayka will serve as alternate governors who will report directly to Barroway.

LeBlanc and Drummond were part of IceArizona, which purchased the Coyotes from the NHL in 2013.
