Major Turn of Events: Patrick Roy Lands a New Job
Earlier this morning, news broke that Patrick Roy and the QMJHL (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League) had summoned journalists to the Videotron Coliseum on Sunday at 1p.m. to make a major announcement. Many fans were left wondering if the former head coach of the Remparts was going to announce his return to the bench for the upcoming season.
However, in recent hours, numerous details have been unveiled regarding the former Montreal Canadiens legend. Indeed, according to what Jérome Landry of FM93 reported, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League will announce that Patrick Roy will be hired as a senior advisor to the commissioner.
Wow! Just a few months ago, Roy had mentioned that he wanted to enjoy his retirement. Clearly, Patrick Roy is truly passionate and missed being at the heart of the action!
Furthermore, based on information from Kevin Dubé, the QMJHL will also announce the creation of a trophy in his honor, which will be awarded to the league's best goalie every year.
"The 'major' announcement by the QMJHL regarding Patrick Roy is creating a buzz."
"Here it is: the QMJHL will announce the creation of a trophy in honor of Patrick Roy, on Sunday." - Kevin Dubé
It's richly deserved for the former number 33 of the Habs!
