Patrick Roy
FameRank: 6

"Patrick Jacques Roy" is a Canada/Canadian former ice hockey goaltender and the current head coach and Vice President of Hockey Operations for the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League (NHL). He is regarded as one of the greatest goaltenders of all time.

Nicknamed "Saint Patrick", Roy split his playing career in the NHL between the Montreal Canadiens, with whom he played for ten years, and the Avalanche, with whom he played for eight years. Roy won four Stanley Cups during his career, two with each franchise. Roy was born in Quebec City, but grew up in Cap-Rouge, Quebec City/Cap-Rouge, Quebec.

In 2004, Roy was selected as the greatest goaltender in NHL history by a panel of 41 writers, coupled with a simultaneous fan poll. On November 13, 2006, Roy was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. He is the only player in NHL history to win the Conn Smythe Trophy (the award given to the most valuable player in the Stanley Cup playoffs) three times, in different decades, and for two different teams. Roy's number 33 jersey is retired by both the Canadiens and Avalanche.

It's probably being kicked around by more dominant lions. We get calls every day from rural areas, but it is definitely uncommon to see a lion sleeping in a yard in the suburbs.

The gesture was there, but it's like wrestling, ... They do all kinds of stuff and there's kids in the stands. It's entertainment. Even one game (suspension), I thought, would have been too much. But I guess they're trying to give a good image. I can't do anything about it. I have to be more careful next time, I guess.

I want them to work hard for the people of Quebec City and elevate their game to another level come playoff time.

I think he'll be a better goaltender. Not because he was traded, but because of everything he's gone through, I think he can bounce back and have a good career.

I believe I can bring passion to the team and to its players.

He punched me. If that's his best punch, he'll be in trouble some day.

I thought our penalty killing was very sharp.
