It appears as though Hall of Fame goaltender Patrick Roy is still a candidate for the vacant Montreal Canadiens head coaching position.
According to a report by La Presse, Roy, along with other candidates, will meet with the Habs front office about the open position.
Roy has spent the last seven seasons with the Quebec Remparts as head coach, co-owner and general manager. He led the team to a Memorial Cup victory in 2006.
Before joining the Remparts, Roy played for Montreal for a decade and was an integral part of two Stanley Cup victories for the team.
Roy was also reportedly being considered for the general manager position, but that was filled by Marc Bergevin, who quickly moved interim head coach Randy Cunneyworth back to his assistant coach post.
Being a bilingual francophone, having years of firsthand experience with the organization, and his success with the Remparts makes Roy an attractive candidate to the Montreal fan base and front office.
Other legitimate candidates for the job include former Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Michel Therrien and former NHL head coach Marc Crawford.
Bob Hartley was also in the running before being hired as head coach by the Calgary Flames Thursday.
