Coyotes clean house at AHL Portland, will not renew contracts for coaching staff

The Arizona Coyotes will have a new-look coaching staff in place when they debut their American Hockey League affiliate in Springfield next season.

Don Maloney announced Monday that Portland Pirates head coach and general manager Ray Edwards and his entire coaching staff will not have their contracts renewed for the upcoming year.

Arizona signed a multi-year agreement with the Springfield Falcons in April, ending a four-year partnership with Portland.
