"Pending further information, he has been suspended indefinitely.” The Coyotes also released a statement saying it is "aware of the allegation regarding Mr. Barroway and we are working with the league to gather more information. When we have enough information, we will have an appropriate response. Until the investigation is complete, we will have no further comment."
