The desert dogs are on the verge of having a new owner.

The voting process among the NHL's Board of Governors to approve the sale of 51% of the Arizona Coyotes to New York lawyer Andrew Barroway has begun, according to Darren Dreger of TSN.

Reports of Barroway's purchase of a majority stake in the club date back to October, though the process was believed to have been in jeopardy earlier this month.

Now, it seems as though the sale is set to be finalized as the calendar turns to 2015.
