The ARIZONA COYOTES made the news that began circulating in JUNE (NET NEWS 6/29) official by tapping former COYOTES forward PAUL BISSONNETTE as its new radio color analyst on BONNEVILLE Sports KMVP-F (ARIZONA SPORTS 98.7 FM)/PHOENIX this season.  BISSONNETTE, who tweeted about his return to the team in JUNE, will also serve as an ambassador for the team in the community; he replaces NICK BOYNTON alongside play-by-play voice BOB HEETHUIS on the radio broadcasts, and will also appear on FOX SPORTS ARIZONA's pre- and post-game shows and on ARIZONA SPORTS 98.7's BICKLEY AND MAROTTA every WEDNESDAY, and will produce digital media content.

"We are very pleased to have PAUL re-join the COYOTES organization," said COYOTES President and CEO STEVE PATTERSON. "PAUL was an incredibly popular player when he played for the COYOTES so I'm confident that our fans will be thrilled to have him back. He will be a great addition to our broadcast team and we look forward to his presence on our website and social media platforms. PAUL will also make a positive impact in the community."

"I'm very excited to be back with the COYOTES organization," said BISSONNETTE. "The COYOTES picked me up off waivers in 2009 and provided me an opportunity to keep playing in the NHL. I played five seasons in the VALLEY and it's always felt like home to me. The organization has always been first class and the PHOENIX media treated me very well as a player. I love the community and the people that I've gotten to know here. I'm very grateful to Mr. BARROWAY and Mr. PATTERSON for the opportunity and I look forward to beginning the next chapter in my life with the COYOTES. We have a great young team and a very bright future ahead. This is an ideal role for me and I can't wait for the season to start."
