Jonathan Roy assaults Bobby Nadeau
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 31/03/2008 20:46:58Updated by Joel Dixon at 01/04/2008 15:03:03
About a week ago the Quebec Remparts were losing by 6 goals in game 2 of their playoff series against the Chicoutimi Sagueneens in the Quebec Major Junior League when a fight broke out. The fight turned into a bit of a brawl with most of the players on the ice getting involved and the following happened:
Jonathan Roy assaults Bobby Nadeau
The goalie in red is Jonathan Roy, backup netminder for the Remparts with a very ordinary 3-10 record in 22 games this season. The only reason this incident made national news is Jonathan is the son of Patrick Roy, retired Hall of Fame goaltender for the Montreal Canadians and Colorado Avalanche. Patrick is also well known for his short temper on the ice and being arrested on a domestic violence charge after an argument with his wife (I bet Jonathan is bummed that his Dad passed on his temper and not his hockey ability).
What Roy did had nothing to do with the fight of the hockey game - he just outright physically assaulted the goalie in blue, Bobby Nadeau (who is the starting goalie for the Sagueneens and who's team will actually suffer if he was suspended). It's clear that Nadeau wasn't interested in fighting, and Roy didn't let up when Nadeau was dropped to the ice. The footage says everything.
Obviously this isn't great publicity for the sport of hockey but the worst part of this story is the "punishment" that was dished out to Jonathan and Patrick Roy. While it's good that Patrick was suspended (albeit for only 5 games), Jonathan's suspension of 7 games is nothing more than a slap on the wrists. What a joke.
I can only hope that the police get involved and give the second-rate backup goalie a punishment that fits.

Hey Furey. I agree completely - though he predictably denied it. It's pretty obvious from the footage that he points to his son and then points towards the other goalie. Then when he notices / remembers the camera he does a half-hearted "come back here" gesture. Jonathan also looks like he glances at his bench right before slamming into Nadeau. Floggers the both of them. # Posted - 01/04/2008 21:40:00 |
