New committee to bring professional hockey back to Arizona

Maricopa County leaders have taken the next step in their efforts to bring professional hockey back to the Valley. Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Thomas Galvin announced last Monday that Andrea Doan has been named Chair of the Advisory Panel on Pro Hockey to Arizona.

The panel is made up of local leaders focused on bringing a National Hockey League (NHL) team back to the state after the Arizona Coyotes franchise was relocated to Utah. Doan, a longtime Arizona resident, is the wife of former Coyote Shane Doan.

Thomas Galvin, Chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, joined “Arizona Horizon” to talk more about the new effort to bring hockey back to the state.
