Arizona Coyotes fans are facing the threat of relocation after voters rejected plans for a new arena but despite claims about a lack of true hockey culture in the region, the real problem is mismanagement on the part of the franchise's owners.
Embattled NHL free agent Alex Galchenyuk, who was arrested and subsequently cut by the Arizona Coyotes last month, has had five of the six charges against him dropped, according to the Athletic's Katie Strang.
"Galchenyuk was sentenced to 30 days of jail time, one of which counts as time served and 27 of which will be suspended upon successful completion of an alcohol recovery program and 12 months without consuming/possessing alcohol," Strang added.
