Our weekly selection of
hockey moves that leave us scratching our heads. Started back in 2007, HotW was
an institution around these parts or years. As research time became more
scarce, we let it lapse, but by the grace of a Gordie Hull Hat Trick, it's
back!
We don't recommend that any of these feats be attempted at home,
nor do we suggest that you you these fine folks as role models for your
children.

Frédérick Roy -
Quebec Remparts
There appears to be a trend in Quebec, home of the
QMJHL's Remparts. Those would be the same Remparts coached by former Montreal
Canadiens / Colorado Avalanche goaltender Patrick Roy. Oh, and the trend once
again includes one of Roy's sons. This time Roy's progeny
Frédérick is the focus of attention.
Roy's other son,
Jonathan, was involved in some shenanigans last March when he engaged an
unwilling Bobby Nadeau of Chicoutimi, in a fight during a Remparts brawl.
This time, it was Frédérick's turn to add to the
classless Roy legacy. While getting their asses clearly handed to them by the
Montreal Juniors, the Remparts tried to even the score with their fists. A
brawl broke out and the younger Roy showed everyone that he was indeed his
father's son.
"Things culminated with
Frédérick Roy, who had already taken a five minute major in the
second, earning a game misconduct for cross checking Vincent Bourgeois, another
former Rempart, in the face. When the teams got back to playing hockey Angelo
Esposito completed his hat trick after Quebec captain Kevin Marshall had beaten
Allen with a "cannonading" blast from the point with the Remparts on the power
play."
"The
suspension follows an incident that occurred during last Friday's game against
the Montreal Juniors in which Roy crossed-checked an opponent in the head. This
gesture took place after a stoppage in play, hits were exchanged with a final
blow going to the face of the opposing player. The decision was rendered after
reviewing the videotape of the incident and consulting all concerned parties."
