From TSN:
The Montreal Canadiens have called a news conference for Thursday afternoon (3:00 pm) where the club is expected to announce that Patrick Roy‘s No. 33 will be raised to the rafters of the Bell Centre this season.
The Hall of Fame goaltender led Montreal to Stanley Cups in 1986 and 1993 and is considered as one of the top goaltenders in NHL history, posting a record 551 wins in 19 seasons with the Canadiens and the Colorado Avalanche.
The announcement officially welcomes the star netminder back to the Canadiens family. His career in Montreal ended abruptly in Dec. 1995, when he reacted with anger when left in goal by coach Mario Tremblay while being shelled by the Detroit Red Wings. He demanded a trade and was sent to Colorado, where he won a Cup with the Avalanche the following spring.
