GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -The head of Ice Edge Holdings says his company remains on track to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes, despite widespread speculation that the acquisition is in trouble over financing.
Chief executive officer Anthony LeBlanc also says the company has hired former Arizona attorney general Grant Woods to finalize a new lease agreement with the city of Glendale.
In an e-mail to The Associated Press on Monday night, LeBlanc quoted Mark Twain in saying “Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”
Earlier in the evening, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly issued a statement saying the league has no agreement to move the Phoenix Coyotes to Winnipeg or anywhere else if owners cannot be found to keep the team in Arizona.
