    Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports - Alex Galchenyuk Pleads Guilty to Misdemeanor Charge

    Former Arizona Coyotes forward Alex Galchenyuk pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor charge Monday according to the Athletic’s Katie Strang.

    Galchenyuk was arrested in July on a number of charges including private property hit and run, disorderly conduct, failure to obey, resisting arrest, and threatening or intimidating.

    The five other charges against Galchenyuk were dismissed. The 29-year-old was sentenced to 30 days of jail time but 27 of which will be suspended after he completes an alcohol recovery program and goes 12 months without consuming or possessing alcohol.

    The Coyotes signed Galchenyuk on July 1 but terminated his contract just 13 days later following his arrest.

    Galchenyuk issued an apology statement on July 18 taking responsibility for his actions and made clear of his intentions to the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program.
