Patrick Roy Shocks The New York Islanders With Unusual New Rule

However, the team has since faced setbacks, including a 4-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.

To leave a lasting impact, Roy has implemented a new rule for team practices. Previously, players often stayed on the ice after practice for individual skill work, but now Roy insists that everyone comes off the ice together.

Can you imagine what rookie forward Connor Bedard would think about that who has been regularly seen practicing on his own before and after team sessions.

This new approach is a baby step for the success of Patrick Roy's new team. It will be crucial for the Islanders to secure a playoff spot this season, as consecutive losses have heightened the need for improvement.

The hope is that Roy's emphasis on unity in practice will translate to better on-ice performance and keep the Islanders in the playoff race.
