NHL NETWORK HONORS ROY, CLARK
The NHL Network is planning a tribute to both Patrick Roy and Wendel Clark leading up to the ceremonies honoring their careers Saturday night in Montreal and Toronto, respectively. Here's the lineup:
6 p.m. -- Roy number retirement ceremony (U.S.)
6:30 p.m. -- Hockey Night in Canada pregame, featuring live Roy coverage
7 p.m. -- Boston at Toronto, featuring live Clark ceremony
Roy's No. 33 will be joining elite company. Thirteen numbers for 14 players already have been retired by the NHL's oldest franchise. The honorees, with corresponding number in parentheses, are:
Jacques Plante (1), Doug Harvey (2), Jean Beliveau (4), Bernie Geoffrion (5), Howie Morenz (7), Maurice Richard (9), Guy Lafleur (10), Dickie Moore (12), Yvan Cournoyer (12), Henri Richard (16), Serge Savard (18), Larry Robinson (19), Bob Gainey (23) and Ken Dryden (29).
Through Rejean Houle, Montreal's former general manager who is now one of the team's ambassadors, Dan has learned that several members of the Habs' Stanley Cup winning squad from 1993 will be in attendance. The list includes: Vincent Damphousse, Ed Ronan, Gary Leeman, Eric Desjardins, Mike Keane, Gilbert Dionne, Stephan Lebeau, Denis Savard, Benoit Brunet, Guy Carbonneau and Kirk Muller. Habs legend Serge Savard, the GM of that team, is also expected to attend.
Dan will be there, too.
