"Over the last several years, I have worked to understand my previous anti-Black racist thoughts and actions," said Peters. "I have learned much through this reformational journey and feel ready to return to coaching.

“They’re working away at resolving the uncertainty around where they’re going to play long term,” said Bettman, who added that the league must know definitive plans by midseason because it needs to focus on building next year’s schedule.Remember, Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith is waiting in Salt Lake City with open arms if the Coyotes can’t resolve this over the next few months.”

That’s the first I’ve heard that short a timeline on the Coyotes getting resolution

Bowman and Quenneville spoke to the 32 coaches and 32 GMs about their experiences and lessons learned from the Chicago scandal. No details of discussion released by NHL or these two. Bill Armstrong said, “That was about leadership and responsibility and about, if something does come up, how to handle things thoroughly,” said Arizona Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong. “You have to address it, investigate it, and it’s your responsibility as a leader to go above and beyond to make sure it’s dealt with. And that the league’s perspective, too.”

- what does this tell us about their status? Prospects to enter league again?

- Quenneville working with Brock McGillis
