ROY
Today, it was announced by the Colorado Avalanche that they have made former franchise goalie Patrick Roy their head coach.

Patrick was head coach of the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. After playing 10 years in Montreal with the Canadiens, Roy was traded to the Avalanche during the 1995-96 season. He spent 8 years in Denver playing 478 games as their number one goalie. While in Denver, he won two Stanley Cups in 1996 and 2001 while also being named to the NHL All-Star Game in 1997, 1998, 2001, 2002 and 2003.

Congratulations to Patrick we won't miss you in the Q.

THROWER
Dalton Thrower has been suspended for the rest of the Memorial Cup tournament after hitting Taylor Leier in last night's final round robin game. Leier has been said to have a concussion. So Saskatoon will have to play the rest of their season with a man down. They will most likely put one of their healthy scratches in the game when they take on the London Knights at 9pm Atlantic time.

GRAND PARADE

Sunday's Memorial Cup Championship Game will be broadcasted on Sportsnet, just like the rest of the tournament, at 8:00pm Atlantic time. The HRM announced that they will once again show a Moosehead game on the big screen in Grand Parade Square. It will be the fourth time this month that fans can watch one of Halifax's games on the big screen.
