A recent report has unveiled an important development regarding a possible comeback in the NHL as a coach for hockey legend Patrick Roy

A source with close ties to Roy mentionned that the former goaltender is presently enjoying a well-deserved break in Florida after a Memorial Cup victory with the Quebec Remparts in 2023.

"Traveling in the West is much more difficult than in the East, he also explained. In Denver, there was jet lag very, very often. Over time, for travel, he had already told me that and I think that's one of the reasons why it interests him less. As you get older, these little details become important in your eyes, in your decisions, I believe."

Even if coaching changes are frequent in the NHL, there is no shortage of qualified candidates. Roy's return to the NHL remains uncertain, but one can only hope to see it happening eventually. However, he doesn't seem that eager to get back behind a bench.
