Patrick Roy has officially made his return to the National Hockey League with his renowned fiery coaching style, now with the New York Islanders. In his first practice, Roy wasted no time asserting his presence on the ice.
Starting off slowly, he surveyed the scene before diving into directing and demanding performance from his players, barking out orders from the front of the Islanders' net.
Roy, a legendary former NHL goaltender, has been coaching younger players in recent years, achieving success, including winning the Memorial Cup with the Quebec Remparts in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
However, the question remains about how his intense coaching approach will be received by adult NHL players. Despite the uncertainty, Roy's wealth of experience as both a coach and a player should serve him well in his new role.
