Roy led the Remparts to a 53-12-1-2 record and were crowned the QMJHL and Memorial Cup champions.
Not even 10 days removed from winning the Canadian Hockey League’s Memorial Cup, Quebec Remparts head coach and general manager Patrick Roy has stepped down.Roy, of course, has been a bench boss before in the National Hockey League with the Colorado Avalanche. He won the Jack Adams Award as NHL Coach of the Year in 2014 after leading the Avs to a 52-22-8 record in his first year with the team.
Roy bought the Remparts in 1997-98 and took over the vice president of hockey operations and general managers position during the 2002-03 season. He led the Remparts to their second-ever Memorial Cup in 2005-06 on a club that featured Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Alexander Radulov. After leaving the Remparts for an NHL coaching job, he would later return to Quebec City and stand behind the bench once again in 2018-19.
With the Columbus Blue Jackets set to hire Mike Babcock as head coach, it leaves just one coaching vacancy open, and that’s the New York Rangers.
