==Post-playing career== [[File:Quebec Remparts at Halifax Mooseheads (Feb 22 2009).jpg|thumb|Roy behind the bench as the head coach of the [[Quebec Remparts]] during a game in 2009]] After retiring from the NHL, Roy joined the [[Quebec Remparts]] of the [[Quebec Major Junior Hockey League]] (QMJHL) as [[vice-president]] of hockey operations; he also became the [[owner]] and [[general manager]], and on September 29, 2005, he was named [[head coach]] of the team. On May 28, 2006, the Remparts won the [[2006 Memorial Cup]], the top [[Canadian Hockey League]] (CHL) tournament, beating the [[Moncton Wildcats]] 6–2 in the finals (although the Remparts were only the runner-up in the 2006 QMJHL championship, they were able to participate in the Memorial Cup since the QMJHL champions were the host city—see [[Memorial Cup#1983 to Present|Memorial Cup, 1983 to present]]). Roy is the seventh coach to win the Cup in his rookie year, and the first to do so since [[Claude Julien (ice hockey)|Claude Julien]] with the [[Gatineau Olympiques|Hull Olympiques]] in 1997. On January 19, 2007, [[Saguenay, Quebec|Saguenay]] Police investigated an incident involving Roy and the co-owner of the [[Chicoutimi Saguenéens]], Pierre Cardinal. There were reports that Roy threw punches at the co-owner after he intervened to disperse a crowd of hockey fans that were blocking the Remparts' bus after a game between the two clubs. A complaint for [[assault]] had been filed against Roy, who faced possible assault charges in the matter. [[Montreal]] newspaper ''[[Le Journal de Montréal]]'' reported that Roy later apologized to the victim via telephone.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2007/01/20070121-064601.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071020132528/http://canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2007/01/20070121-064601.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 20, 2007 |title=Canoë – Sports – Encore dans l'eau chaude |publisher=.canoe.com |date=2007-01-21 |access-date=2011-03-15}}</ref><ref>[https://www.tsn.ca/chl/news_story/?ID=192978&hubname=Penitentes] {{dead link|date=June 2016}}</ref> In a press conference following a Remparts game on January 21, 2007, Roy said that he was "suffering prejudice on the part of the media," and believed that he was not guilty of the incident. He then questioned his future as head coach and co-owner of the team, even considering resigning from his duties.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tsn.ca/chl/news_story/?ID%3D193193%26hubname%3D |title=TSN : CHL – Canada's Sports Leader |access-date=January 22, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929160103/http://www.tsn.ca/chl/news_story/?ID=193193&hubname= |archive-date=September 29, 2007 }}</ref> On January 25, 2007, Pierre Cardinal announced that he removed his complaint against Roy before Roy made a press conference about his future in the Remparts, where he announced he will stay coach and co-owner of the team.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.radio-canada.ca/sports/hockey/2007/01/25/001-roy-retour.shtml |title=Affaire Patrick Roy : Le retour de l'entraîneur {{pipe}} Hockey |publisher=CBC/Radio-Canada |access-date=2011-03-15}}</ref><ref>[https://www.tsn.ca/chl/news_story/?ID=193557&hubname=Penitentes] {{dead link|date=June 2016}}</ref> On March 22, 2008, in [[Chicoutimi, Quebec|Chicoutimi]], Quebec, Roy was involved in another on-ice incident during game two of a first-round playoff series against the rival Saguenéens. Late in the second period, in which the Saguenéens were leading 7–1, a brawl started and Remparts goaltender Jonathan Roy, Roy's son, charged towards opposing goaltender Bobby Nadeau. Jonathan hit Nadeau numerous times despite Nadeau indicating he did not want to fight. After knocking Nadeau down, Jonathan continued to hit Nadeau. Jonathan then fought a second Saguenéens player before skating off the ice while holding both middle fingers up to the crowd. Roy denied inciting his son Jonathan to fight, despite video evidence showing Roy making a gesture towards his son while he was advancing towards Nadeau. After an investigation by the League office, Patrick Roy was suspended for five games and fined $4,000, while his son Jonathan was suspended for seven games and fined $500. The Quebec Ministry of Public Safety has launched a police investigation into the matter.<ref>{{cite web|author=Québecor Média |url=http://www.canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2008/03/20080325-171157.html |title=Canoe Sports {{pipe}} Vidéos & Photos – Nouvelles – Résultats – Classement et Statistiques |publisher=Canoe.com |access-date=2016-06-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080330005839/http://www.canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2008/03/20080325-171157.html |archive-date=March 30, 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080325/brawl_suspension_080325/20080325?hub=TopStories |title=Patrick, Jonathan Roy suspended over brawl |publisher=CTV.ca |date=2008-03-25 |access-date=2011-03-15 }}{{dead link|date=July 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2008/03/20080324-100600.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080325193758/http://www.canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2008/03/20080324-100600.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 25, 2008 |title=Canoë – Sports – Les Roy dans la tourmente |publisher=.canoe.com |date=2008-03-24 |access-date=2011-03-15}}</ref> In late July 2008, Jonathan was charged with assault in Saguenay courts.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2008/07/31/roy_assault/ |title=Jonathan Roy charged with assault – |publisher=Sportsnet.ca |date=2008-07-31 |access-date=2011-03-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090913234759/http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2008/07/31/roy_assault/ |archive-date=2009-09-13 |url-status=dead }}</ref> On November 21, 2008, Roy's other son, [[Frederick Roy]], found trouble playing for the Remparts when he cross-checked an opponent in the head after a stoppage in play.

In September 2012, Roy started a new chapter in his career by becoming a permanent member of the French–Canadian hockey talk show ''l'Antichambre'', where he worked as a hockey analyst. He was reunited on the set with his former head coach, [[Mario Tremblay]], the man in part responsible for his departure from Montreal.{{citation needed|date=April 2024}} In January 2024, it was announced that Roy, in partnership with Canadian businessmen Jean Bédard and Jacques Tanguay (a former owner of the Remparts), had purchased a minority stake in [[Boxers de Bordeaux]], a professional team playing in the French [[Ligue Magnus]].<ref>{{cite web | url =https://www.journaldequebec.com/2024/01/18/patrick-roy-et-jacques-tanguay-investissent-dans-une-equipe-professionnelle-de-hockey-en-france | title =Patrick Roy et Jacques Tanguay investissent dans une équipe professionnelle de hockey en France | last1 =Dubé | first1 =Kevin | date =January 18, 2024 | work =[[Le journal de Québec]] | language =fr | access-date =April 10, 2024}}</ref> ===NHL coaching career=== [[File:Patrick Roy 2024.jpg|thumb|Roy behind the bench as the head coach of the [[New York Islanders]] during a game in 2024]] On May 23, 2013, Roy was named head coach and vice-president of hockey operations of the [[Colorado Avalanche]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.thescore.com/home/articles/895928-avs-name-patrick-roy-new-head-coach |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130615203657/http://www.thescore.com/home/articles/895928-avs-name-patrick-roy-new-head-coach |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-06-15 |title=Avs name Patrick Roy new head coach |publisher=thescore.com |date=2013-05-23 |access-date=2013-05-23 }}</ref> [[The Sports Network|TSN]]'s [[Bob McKenzie (broadcaster)|Bob McKenzie]] reported that Roy would have the final say in all hockey matters. Then Avalanche general manager [[Greg Sherman]] retained his post, but was considered the general manager "in name only."{{citation needed|date=January 2017}}<!-- WP:RS needed; removed link to WP:SPS (Twitter, FB, WP)--> At the time, Roy was the only coach in the NHL who had the title or powers of general manager. Before the season started, his former Avs teammate, [[Joe Sakic]], was hired as executive vice president of hockey operations. Although the title nominally put him above Roy on the organization chart, Roy and Sakic shared most of the duties normally held by a general manager in the NHL–a practice that continued after Sakic was formally granted the title of general manager in 2014. Roy's first regular season game with the Colorado Avalanche as coach was the home opener on October 2, 2013, a 6–1 win over the [[Anaheim Ducks]], where Roy got into a shouting match with Ducks head coach [[Bruce Boudreau]] and nearly broke the partition separating the two teams' benches.<ref>{{cite web|author=Tyler Brooke |url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1796544-patrick-roy-video-watch-avalanche-coach-go-after-bruce-boudreau-in-debut |title=Patrick Roy Video: Watch Avalanche Coach Go After Bruce Boudreau in Debut |publisher=[[Bleacher Report]] |date=2013-10-03 |access-date=2016-06-30}}</ref> Roy won his first six games as a rookie coach, coincidentally tying Mario Tremblay, his former coach with whom he had a feuding relationship, for the most consecutive wins at the beginning of an NHL coaching career.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brehm |first=Mike |date=2013-10-17 |title=Patrick Roy goes for record and other thoughts on a busy NHL night |url=http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/10/patrick-roy-goes-for-record-and-other-nhl-thoughts/ |access-date=2013-10-22 |website=For The Win|publisher=[[USA Today]]}}</ref> In the [[2013–14 NHL season|2013–14 season]], Colorado racked up 112 points, won the [[Central Division (NHL)|Central Division]] title, tied a franchise record with 52 wins, posted the NHL's best road record (26–11–4) and had zero regulation losses when leading after two periods (35–0–3). For his team's success, Roy won the [[Jack Adams Award]] for the NHL's top coach, winning the honour over the [[Detroit Red Wings]]' [[Mike Babcock]] and the [[Tampa Bay Lightning]]'s [[Jon Cooper (ice hockey)|Jon Cooper]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Patrick Roy Named a Finalist for the Jack Adams Award|url=http://www.sportsmedia101.com/coloradoavalanche/2014/05/06/patrick-roy-named-a-finalist-for-the-jack-adams-award/|publisher=Sportsmedia101.com|access-date=2016-06-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306133659/http://www.sportsmedia101.com/coloradoavalanche/2014/05/06/patrick-roy-named-a-finalist-for-the-jack-adams-award/|archive-date=2016-03-06|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Patrick Roy wins Jack Adams Award|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=723700&navid=nhl:topheads/|publisher=National Hockey League|access-date=2016-06-30}}</ref> During the [[2014 Stanley Cup playoffs]], Roy became known for aggressively pulling goaltender [[Semyon Varlamov]] to set up a 6-on-5, empty-net scenario, sometimes with as much as three minutes remaining in the game. However, the heavily favoured second seeded Avalanche ultimately lost in the first round to the seventh seeded Minnesota Wild at home in game seven. The following [[2014–15 NHL season|season]], the Avalanche regressed significantly, finishing last (seventh) in their division for only the third time in the history of the organization. On August 11, 2016, Roy, citing a lack of input in personnel decisions, stepped down as the head coach and vice-president of hockey operations for the Avalanche, and was subsequently replaced by [[Jared Bednar]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/patrick-roy-resigns-as-avalanche-coach/c-281317648|title=Patrick Roy resigns from Avalanche|publisher=[[National Hockey League]]|date=2016-08-11|accessdate=2016-08-11}}</ref> On January 20, 2024, the [[New York Islanders]] fired [[Lane Lambert]] as head coach and named Roy as his successor.<ref>{{cite web |title=Islanders Name Roy Head Coach |url=https://www.nhl.com/islanders/news/islanders-name-roy-head-coach |website=NHL.com |access-date=January 21, 2024 |date=January 20, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Clark |first1=Ryan S. |title=Islanders fire Lane Lambert, hire Patrick Roy as coach |url=https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/39350719/islanders-fire-lane-lambert-hire-patrick-roy-coach |website=ESPN.com |access-date=January 21, 2024 |date=January 20, 2024}}</ref> He made his Islanders debut on January 21, and earned his first win as Islanders head coach with a 3–2 overtime victory over the [[Dallas Stars]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Rosner |first1=Stefen |title=Islanders win Roy's debut as coach, defeat Stars in OT |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/dallas-stars-new-york-islanders-game-recap-january-21 |website=NHL.com |access-date=January 22, 2024 |date=January 21, 2024}}</ref>
