Former Quebec Remparts head coach Patrick Roy reportedly received two offers from western teams to return to the NHL, but turned them down.

At least that's what host Ray Cloutier said, who also describes the Remparts games on the Dupont morning show on FM93.
The presenter, who says he recently spent a day with Roy in Florida, believes the 57-year-old hockey player is currently taking some time off.
“It is much more difficult to travel in the West than in the East,” he also explained. Jet lag was very, very common in Denver. […] He had already told me that and I think that is one of the reasons [qui explique] Why is he less interested? I think as you get older, these little details become important in your eyes and in your decisions.
Roy, whose name continues to fuel the rumor mill, left the Remparts last June after leading them to the Gilles-Courteau Trophy and the Memorial Cup.
