This week marks the official launch of a new effort to bring the National Hockey League back to metro Phoenix.
The team formerly known as the Arizona Coyotes is getting ready to start its second season in new home Utah.
The NHL quit on Arizona after nearly 30 years because the Coyotes were unable to secure a permanent home venue after his team was evicted from the Glendale arena built specifically for hockey.
Now, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Thomas Galvin wants to identify potential owners for another team and find an arena location.
Galvin has also put together an informal advisory committee led by Andrea Doan, wife of Shane Doan, the face of the Coyotes franchise.
Doan, Galvin and others are scheduled to hold a news conference Thursday.
