Patrick Roy Implements Shocking New Rule For The New York Islanders
The New York Islanders 2023-24 season was hanging by a thread, but Patrick Roy seems to have breathed new life into the team, and the impact of his changes is already evident.
A Fresh Twist in the Islanders' Play
Despite a win in their first game under Roy, the immediate turnaround hit a snag with two subsequent losses. However, the transformation in the team's play is already noticeable.
Roy has introduced a unique new rule for the Islanders, emphasizing that all players must leave the ice together after practice. According to reports,
"Roy also demands that all players go off together after skates. #Isles."
A Shift in Team Dynamics
While this rule might seem minor, it disrupts the norm where players often conclude skates at different times or opt to stay for extra drills. Roy's insistence on the entire team leaving together aims to foster unity.
In the realm of sports, it's common for star players to stay after practice for additional work. However, Roy's rule establishes a different approach during team practices.
Although the on-ice talent for New York remains the same, don't expect an immediate leap to Stanley Cup contention. Yet, the visible changes brought about by Roy in New York suggest that he was the right choice, and his influence will significantly benefit the team moving forward.
