A Hockey Dad You Don't Want To Mess With
Patrick Roy is regarded as the greatest goalie to play in the National Hockey League. After playing 18 years in the NHL 10 with the Montreal Canadians and 8 with the Colorado Avalanche, Roy won 4 Stanley Cups and was elected to play in the All-Star game 11 times. In 2006 Roy was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. His latest milestone may stand out a little more than some of the other ones, being banned from a junior hockey league. Roy coaches his son Jonathon who plays for the Quebec Remparts. During a game Jonathon continuously hit on opponent after he knocked him to the ground, then another player from the other team left the penalty box and attacked Jonathan. Roy appeared to cheer his son on to attack the other goalie. Now both Patrick and Jonathan are suspended for 12 games.

Wow, Kenny, I hadn't seen this. Pretty pathetic statement about sports dads, especially from a former pro.
