"Patrick's a winner, Darche said. He's had success coaching when he came here the first year [leading the Islanders to the playoffs in 2023-24] I'm excited to be working with him."
"I want a new [minor-league] staff moving us forward, Darche said."
"While Roy is returning, assistant coaches John MacLean and Tommy Albelin will not. Both Darche and Roy will execute the search for a new coaching staff."
"Roy is known for his passion and tenacity. He has built a strong connection with his roster, and the normally outspoken bench boss might have a bit more freedom under the new management."
Patrick Roy will remain the head coach of the New York Islanders for the upcoming 2025-26 season, following a lackluster campaign where the team posted their worst record since 2017-18. New general manager Darche expressed confidence in Roy's coaching ability despite the Islanders' failure to reach the playoffs last season. Assistant coaches John MacLean and Tommy Albelin will not return, as both Roy and Darche aim to refresh the coaching staff. Despite challenges, Roy's connection with the players and passion for the game are viewed positively by the new management team.
