Arizona Republic LOADED: 07.27.2020 Why are 'student-athletes' on campus when other students aren't? “John Chayka has quit as the General Manager and President of Hockey Operations of the Arizona Coyotes,” the statement reads. "The Club is disappointed in his actions and his timing as the Coyotes prepare to enter the NHL's hub city of Edmonton, where the team will begin post- season play for the first time since 2012. Chayka has chosen to quit on a strong and competitive team, a dedicated staff, and the Arizona Coyotes fans, the greatest fans in the NHL.” “Quit” is a word rarely seen in such statements, much less twice in one paragraph. No name was attached to the statement, but comments like that aren’t made unless ownership signs off. Chayka took a more traditional route with his statement, issued just a few minutes before his former employer's, but he did say that he wanted to be with the team in Edmonton for the post-season. “Sadly, the situation created by ownership made that an impossibility. That’s all I intend to say on this matter for now.” The “for now” foreshadows a continued battle between Chayka and owner Alex Meruelo.
