Patrick Roy’s long-time partner and friend, Jacques Tanguay, also resigned as Quebec Remparts’ president
Patrick Roy has resigned as general manager and head coach of the Quebec Remparts just over a week after the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League team won the Memorial Cup.
The owners had an eye to bring junior hockey back to Quebec City proper after the original Remparts, founded in 1969, left the city in 1985. The Harfangs were renamed the Remparts for the 1997-98 season and moved to Laval University’s campus.Tanguay said Roy, who was still with the Avalanche when he became co-owner of the team, brought a passion to the group that was contagious to everyone involved.
Roy took over as head coach of the Remparts for the 2005-06 season and lead the team to a Memorial Cup title that year.
