André Tourigny is leading the Coyotes into Phase 2 of their rebuilding project

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:03:53 GMT

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Bill Armstrong’s first move as the Arizona Coyotes’ general manager was to do nothing.Wanting to take a calculated look at the moribund franchise, Armstrong sat back and watched for an entire season before deciding on a course of action. His plan: a nearly complete overhaul.To pull off his rebuild, Armstrong needed a coach who could connect with and develop young players. André Tourigny was the perfect fit.“The one thing about him was that he was firm with his players, he motivated his players, but didn’t leave a scar,” Armstrong said. “I felt like we needed that type of coach because we were in the process of gutting everything, keeping what we liked then added in young players. You need to bring them in properly and I felt like he could do that.”The Coyotes have been a curiosity across the league as the franchise has gone through a string of owners, including four years of being operated by the NHL, regularly missed the playoffs and strug...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:03:53 GMT

(CNN) — El líder opositor venezolano Juan Guaidó le dijo a CNN este viernes que no teme que lo deporten a su país de origen, luego de que el Gobierno de Maduro anunciara una orden de arresto en su contra.Este jueves, el fiscal general de Venezuela, Tarek William Saab, emitió una orden de aprehensión contra Guaidó, y dijo que también solicitaría una alerta roja a la Interpol para deportar al opositor a su país.El anuncio del fiscal ocurrió pocas horas después de que el Gobierno de Biden revelara que comenzaría a deportar a Venezuela a los migrantes de ese país que ingresaron de manera ilegal a Estados Unidos, lo que representa un cambio significativo de política.Hasta ahora, EE.UU. consideraba que Venezuela era “insegura” para los migrantes que retornaban debido a la situación política, pero esa postura se revirtió a medida que más migrantes —muchos de ellos venezolanos— han cruzado a Estados Unidos en cantidades récord este año.En una entrevista en cámara, Guaidó l...

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia soon will become the first state in the nation to offer medical marijuana products at independent pharmacies, state officials said.The Georgia Board of Pharmacy began accepting applications this week, and nearly 120 pharmacies have agreed to provide medication from Botanical Sciences, one of the state’s two licensed production companies, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
