The Arizona Coyotes are a mess on and off the ice, and it appears current minority owner and former majority owner Andrew Barroway reflects the team.

With the charges of wrongdoing now dropped, Barroway has addressed the allegations made against him.

Barroway Reveals the Truth

After having been suspended from the NHL in March due to charges of felony strangulation, the courts of Denver never pursued the charges.

Barroway was suspended by the National Hockey League in late March after he was arrested in Aspen, Colorado, on a felony strangulation charge, per the Aspen Daily News. That felony charge, however, was later not pursued by prosecutors in May.

His wife made these allegations that fuelled the arrest:

His wife told police that she and her husband had violent encounters on the night of March 22, and the affidavit said her injuries included a large bruise on her left thigh, a cut on her right thumb, bruises on both knees and both ankles, a red left cheek and two dried blood spots on her throat.

Barroway, who owned the majority stake in the Coyotes until 2019, and now owns 5% of the team, released this statement following the dropping of the charges:

«My family and I are deeply grateful that after a detailed, thorough investigation of the facts, the District Attorney has decided to dismiss the misdemeanor case against me,»

"The past several months have been extremely difficult for my loved ones and for me personally. As you can imagine, seeing a private personal matter wrongly depicted in the media was hurtful and frustrating. So, too, was being unable to set the record straight because of the ongoing legal investigation."

«Now that this matter has concluded, I can directly say that the allegations against me were false. Like most people, my family and my integrity represent the two most important things in my life. Now that my name has been cleared of wrongdoing, I look forward to continuing to move on with my life, fully focused on being a husband and a father.»

It will be interesting to see what's next for the Arizona Coyotes.
