Latest News About Patrick Roy

Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:

• Patrick Roy, the former Hall of Fame goaltender and current hockey executive/coach, has been in the news due to a coaching change with the New York Islanders in 2026. Reports indicate he was relieved of his duties as Islanders head coach with Pete DeBoer taking over for the final games of that season.[2]
• Coverage around that time also suggested there was discussion about Roy remaining with the Islanders in a scouting or front-office capacity, though specifics varied by source.[2]
• Prior to the coaching change, Roy’s return to Montreal as a coach for the Islanders drew notable media attention in January 2024, with Roy focusing on the game rather than personal stakes in that trip to the Bell Centre.[3]

If you’d like, I can narrow this down to a specific timeframe (e.g., only 2026 developments) or pull direct quotes and sources from the top outlets. I can also set up a quick timeline or a brief bio of Patrick Roy’s recent roles and the teams involved.
