Red Wings nemesis Patrick Roy one win from Memorial Cup title

Hockey Hall of Famer Patrick Roy is one step away from his second Memorial Cup championship, symbolic of junior hockey supremacy in the Canadian Hockey League.

Roy, the coach and general manger of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion Quebec Remparts, advanced to the final with a 3-1 win against the Seattle Thunderbirds on Monday in the round-robin tournament which also features the Peterborough Petes and host Kamloops Blazers in Kamloops, British Columbia.

Roy won his first Memorial Cup coaching the Remparts in 2006 in Moncton, New Brunswick. Earlier this year, Roy said this will be his last year coaching in juniors before ex-NHLer Simon Gagne takes over behind the bench.
