Coyotes announce a major front office hire.

The Arizona Coyotes quietly made a major front office hire on Monday, one that has seemingly gone under the radar TSN's Aaron Ward was the first to report the hiring of John Chayka, who is believed to be one of the best analytical minds in the hockey world. Chayka now becomes one of the Coyotes' assistant general managers and it's believed that his expertise will help change the fortunes of hockey in the desert. Despite still being a young man Chayka brings a wealth of experience as one of the co-founders behind Stathletes, a company that prides itself as the team with "professional hockey's deepest performance data & analytics." It will likely be some time before we know what impact if any Chayka will have on the Coyotes on ice product.
