I did a double take earlier this week when I saw Colorado Avalanche head coach Patrick Roy in goalie skates after practice in Toronto.
Roy obviously never wears goalie skates; he wears normal-player skates to run practices.
What gives?
He said that he needs to break in new goalie skates, of course, for the Feb. 26 Red Wings-Avs alumni outdoor game in Denver.
It’ll be his first game in net since retiring, and he sounded pretty jacked up about it.
