Here’s an excerpt from the Canadiens.com article by Manny Almela:
“When I recently had lunch with Pierre Boivin and Bob Gainey about this possibility, I was blown away with how they welcomed me,” explained Roy. “What struck me most was how the sense of family I was so used to with the Canadiens not only still exists, but is stronger than ever. And to be a part of it again means a lot to me. This is a great day and November 22 will be even better.”
After slipping on his familiar No. 33 Canadiens jersey, Roy looked like he’d stepped out of a silver Delorian straight from 1985, and was loving every minute of it.
“This feels pretty good,” chirped Roy as he looked down at the Canadiens’ logo he wore for 551 regular season games now back on his chest. “It’s been in the back of my mind for a long time. I’ve always wondered whether this day would come. I’m extremely happy to return to the Canadiens’ organization. It’s great to be back.”
