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.
