SAGUENAY, Que. - The son of Hall of Fame goaltender Patrick Roy has been charged with assaulting a rival during a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoff game last March.
Quebec Remparts goaltender Jonathan Roy, 19, faces one count of assault against Chicoutimi Sagueneens netminder Bobby Nadeau. The single charge was filed in court Thursday in Saguenay, where the brawl occurred.
In a fracas that was replayed countless times across the country, Jonathan Roy skated the length of the ice and pummelled Nadeau, who made no attempt to fight back.
It was the most notable of a series of fights during a heated battle between the two hated Quebec league rivals.
Patrick Roy, the Remparts' coach and general manager, was suspended for five games and his son for seven over the melee.
