Report: Roy offered NHL job
Hall of Fame goaltender Patrick Roy denied being offered the Colorado Avalanche’s coaching job, a position currently held by Tony Granato.
The Denver Post reported Monday that Roy had received an offer and was mulling it over. The Avalanche declined comment on the report, which cited anonymous league sources.
Later Monday, a spokeswoman for the junior league club Roy co-owns and coaches told the Associated Press that Roy had not received an offer from his old NHL team.
“I talked to him this morning and he said all those reports are speculation, he never received a formal offer,” said Nicole Bouchard, director of media relations for the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
Elsewhere in hockey, Philadelphia Flyers center Danny Briere will have corrective eye surgery today. He will take a few weeks to recover.
