Patrick Roy's trademark as a player was a fiery competitiveness, but it hasn't always served him well.
Roy has found himself in the midst of another firestorm as a result of a brawl that erupted during Saturday's Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoff game between his Quebec Remparts and the Chicoutimi Sagueneens.
Roy's son, Jonathan, was at the centre of attention. The Remparts' backup goalie became a YouTube star for his one-sided attack on Chicoutimi goaltender Robbie Nadeau, who absorbed a beating with the resignation of an early Christian martyr.
Yesterday, the QMJHL handed down its discipline in the case. Among it: Roy was suspended five games, his son banned seven games, and both teams were fined $4,000.
Pat Hickey comments on the case here. Also: a video of the incident, read The Gazette's editorial, Hickey's story from last night's 6-1 Remparts victory and Mike Boone's thoughts from Monday.
Finally: a package in French from today's Journal de Montréal.
