Jerry Moyes is no longer the owner of the Phoenix Coyotes.
Yesterday, the National Hockey League closed on it’s $140 million purchase of the hockey club. Today, the final papers were signed off on, as the six month bankruptcy saga comes to an end.
With the bankruptcy portion done, the NHL can now turn it’s attention to finding a new owner of the team. The league’s preference is to find a new owner who will keep the team in the Valley.
In a statement, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told Coyotes fans, “The NHL thanks Coyotes fans for their continued support for the franchise and hopes that today’s [Monday’s] deveopments will provide fans further reason to embrace the Coyotes in order to ensure the team’s long-term future in Arizona.”
