Coyotes add 27-year-old executive to front office

The Arizona Coyotes continued their youth movement in the front office with the hiring of Jake Goldberg.

Goldberg, who was formerly the assistant general manager of the OHL's London Knights, will become the Coyotes' director of hockey operations, working hand in hand with GM John Chayka, the Knights announced Tuesday.

Chayka himself turned heads last year with his new position, becoming the youngest GM in NHL history at age 27. The addition of Goldberg continues a trend in professional sports of front-office executives becoming younger.

The Coyotes will take all the help they can get, as the club just finished two points away from the second-worst record in the league.
