Patrick Roy and his troublemaking sons

Yeah, it’s plural now. From the London Free Press (that’s London, Ontario):

Another son of hockey great Patrick Roy is being disciplined for his on-ice behaviour.

After hitting another player in the face with his stick Friday, Frederick Roy is facing a 15-game suspension and outrage from the other player’s family.

Roy, of the Quebec Remparts, hit Montreal Juniors player Vincent Bourgeois four times after the Quebec Major Junior game had ended in Verdun. The last one hit Bourgeois in the mouth.

The suspension comes eight months after Jonathan Roy was suspended for seven games for participating in an on-ice fight and Patrick Roy, the Remparts coach, suspended for five games for apparently encouraging it.

Remparts goalie Jonathan Roy attacked Chicoutimi counterpart Bobby Nadeau, skating the length of the ice during a brawl and barrelling over Nadeau before hitting him repeatedly.

What’s in that Roy blood?

BTW, your “Please leave a comment” box may be revealing people’s email addresses. This happens to me every time I visit randball. And the name and email seem to appear randomly. IOW, it’s not the same every time. I’ve now seen the email for Hootie, Jama, Stu and others. Unless the email is random, too, and somebody else’s email. Still, fix this.

Yeah, the commenter roulette needs to be addressed. I had a chance to make some mischief last week when it decided I was joker, but then I was like “eh, what could I do that hasn’t already been done?”

Yes, fix this immediately. I’d hate for someone funny to post using my handle.
