As reported by our colleagues at Fanadiens.com, Quebec Remparts head coach Patrick Roy has learned some important news for the upcoming season.
According to information from the excellent journalist Mikaël Lalancette, Roy and his Remparts will finally be able to count on the return of their captain Théo Rochette (who is also one of their best players).
At 20 years old, this will be Rochette's fifth season in the QMJHL. He amassed a solid 99 points, including 33 goals, in 66 games last year.
To say the least, Patrick Roy is happy with his return:
"Theo represents an important piece of our offense and this will be a golden opportunity for him to come back and win with us. At the same time, he will be able to perfect some aspects of his game and that will only be positive for him."

Rochette will miss a good part of the Red Devils camp, however, as he will be in Philadelphia to attend the Flyers camp in September.
