Coyotes Speak on Galchenyuk
The Arizona Coyotes released a statement today following the news that they had officially terminated the contract of forward Alex Galchenyuk. The club had this to say regarding the termination.
"We are aware of the incident involving Alex Galchenyuk and strongly condemn this type of behavior. Once the Club was made aware of the allegations, we immediately began the process of terminating his Standard Player's Contract through the proper channels in conjunction with the National Hockey League. As a result, the Arizona Coyotes today have exercised the team's right to terminate the contract of Alex Galchenyuk due to a material breach of the terms of his Standard Player's Contract. The Club will have no further comment at this time."
It was revealed shortly after the news first broke yesterday that Galchenyuk had been arrested on July 9th by Scottsdale Police on a number of charges. Although the Coyotes did not explicitly state that as the reasoning for his termination, that is likely the reason why.
We hope Galchenyuk can recover from whatever he is currently going through, and take the steps to get better.
