Arizona Coyotes looked in-house for a new president and CEO.
Earlier this week, the Valley’s National Hockey League franchise announced Ahron Cohen will take over the two positions, replacing Steve Patterson, who stepped down. Patterson served in that role for just over a year.
Cohen has been in the Coyotes organization since 2015, working at chief operating officer, chief legal officer and alternate governor.
“Ahron is a rising star in the National Hockey League and a leader in the Phoenix community,” Coyotes’ owner, chairman and governor Andrew Barroway said in a statement. “With John Chayka running our hockey operations and Ahron leading the business, the Coyotes continue to be in great hands. I wouldn’t trade our future with any team in the NHL.”
