NEW YORK (August 5, 2013) — The National Hockey League today
announced the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes to a group headed by George
Gosbee and Anthony LeBlanc. The transaction, which closed earlier today,
was approved by the League’s Board of Governors – terminating League
ownership of the Club.
“The National Hockey League believes in Arizona as an NHL market and
that these new owners can provide the Coyotes the opportunity to secure a
stable, long-term future in Glendale,” Commissioner Gary Bettman said. “We
thank Mike Nealy, Don Maloney, Dave Tippett, team captain Shane Doan and
all the players and staff for consistently going ‘above and beyond’ on
behalf of the franchise during this long and complex process. We thank the
Coyotes’ devoted fans for their patient, perseverant support. We are
extremely pleased that a positive resolution has been achieved for the
fans, the city, the Coyotes and the League.”
