Mathieu Darche has officially taken over as the Islanders' general manager and quickly affirmed his support for coach Patrick Roy, stating he will stay for the upcoming season. Following a disappointing season, with the Islanders missing the playoffs again, Darche made immediate changes to the coaching staff, letting go of assistant coaches and the AHL Bridgeport head coach. He emphasized the importance of collaboration with Roy and expressed eagerness to work together, as they connect over their shared French-Canadian background while aiming to improve the team's performance.
"Patrick will be our coach next season," said Darche, emphasizing his commitment to working with Roy immediately. This showcases his focus on stability within the team.
"I'm extremely comfortable and excited to be working with him. I know he's passionate and works hard. It was my decision to make changes in the coaching staff," Darche expressed, highlighting his confidence and collaborative outlook with Roy.
