"I heard he was really good back in the day. Everyone loves talking about him."
"There was just stuff of him all over. Seeing all the things. Seeing his goalie pads. That's what really stuck out to me,"

Patrick Roy’s playing career includes four Stanley Cups, three playoff MVPs, and 551 wins. Roy enters his third season coaching the Islanders. Matthew Schaefer was selected first overall after 73 OHL games with the Erie Otters, is known as an elite puck rusher and passer, signed an NHL entry-level deal, and figures prominently in Islanders’ marketing.
