Hockey legend Patrick Roy gets a big honour in the QMJHL

From Stanley Cups, to Conn Smythe Trophies, to the Vezina, Patrick Roy has plenty of metal already in his trophy case. He now gets to add another. Roy has been named the General Manager of the Year in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for his work with the Quebec Remparts. Despite being the GM and head coach of the hockey team for several years now, this is his first time winning the Maurice Filion Trophy.

The Quebec Remparts finished the 2021-22 season with an incredible record of 51-15-2. That gave the team the Jean Rougeau Trophy as the top team in the QMJHL in the regular season. The Remparts are currently in the second round of the QMJHL playoffs.

It was widely suspected that Roy had a very good chance of succeeding Marc Bergevin as GM of the Montreal Canadiens when Bergevin was fired by the Habs back in November of 2021. Roy expressed interest in the job and was given an interview. However, the team ultimately decided to go with Kent Hughes.

Roy won a Memorial Cup, the QMJHL's top prize, with the Quebec Remparts in 2006.
