Logan Cooley signs entry-level contract with Arizona Coyotes

Published Tue, 17 Dec 2024 02:28:12 GMT

An uncanny ability to abruptly change directions with the puck is one of the myriad skills that made Logan Cooley one of the top rookies in college hockey last season. An abrupt change of direction in regard to his career path means that Cooley’s first season with the Minnesota Gophers — in which he led the Big Ten in scoring, helped Minnesota return to the national title game for the first time in nearly a decade and was named USA Hockey’s national College Player of the Year — was also his final season of college hockey.On Thursday the Arizona Coyotes announced they signed the 19-year-old native of Pittsburgh to an entry-level contract. The move came after Cooley announced in May his intent to return for a sophomore college hockey season, although after attending the Coyotes’ development camp earlier in the month, he changed his description of a return to college from “when” to “if.”Details of the contract were not disclosed.For their part, the Coyotes seem to hav...

Capan recorded four birdies and no bogeys over his final nine to turn in a 3-under 68 for the opening round. That leaves him in a tie for 23rd when the first round was suspended late Thursday.The top 65 and ties after Friday’...

The Senate on Thursday night passed its version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), teeing up a looming effort to find a deal on a compromise bill that satisfies the Democratic Senate and Republican House.Senators voted 86-11 on the bill, which authorizes a topline figure of $886 billion for fiscal 2024, the total that was included in the debt ceiling deal struck between the Biden administration and House Republicans. The package passed with little drama after the Senate kicked off consideration of the bill and amendments early last week.
