"News has been slow on Phoenix Coyotes front lately but the activity apparently hasn't stopped behind the scenes.

Mike Nealy, chief operating officer of the team, said Monday that he continues to hear from potential team buyers.

Two parties have been communicating with the National Hockey League and Glendale since Chicago businessman Matthew Hulsizer abandoned his bid to purchase the team and the Jobing.com arena in June, Nealy said.

He said the latest hopefuls aren't new to the sporting world, but they don't want their names out there as they work out details."
