Montreal, QC – The Montreal Canadiens have made a tough decision to cut Joshua Roy from their roster, making him one of the latest players to be released from the team.
Roy, a 19-year-old center, was drafted by the Canadiens in the fifth round of the 2020 NHL Draft. He was considered a promising prospect for the team, but unfortunately, he did not make the cut for the final roster.
The decision to cut Roy was made after careful evaluation by the Canadiens’ coaching staff and management. Despite his potential, Roy did not perform as well as expected during training camp and preseason games.
This news comes as a disappointment to both Roy and the Canadiens organization. However, it is a common occurrence in the world of professional sports, where only the best of the best make it to the final roster.
The Canadiens have also announced the release of two other players, defenseman Kaiden Guhle and forward Rafael Harvey-Pinard. Both players were also drafted in 2020 and showed potential, but ultimately did not make the cut.
The team’s final roster now consists of 23 players, including 14 forwards, seven defensemen, and two goaltenders. The Canadiens are set to begin their regular season on October 13th against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Despite the disappointment of being cut, Roy and the other released players will have the opportunity to continue their development and potentially make a comeback to the Canadiens in the future.
The Canadiens organization wishes Roy, Guhle, and Harvey-Pinard all the best in their future endeavors and thanks them for their hard work and dedication during their time with the team.
This decision marks the end of the preseason for the Canadiens and the beginning of the regular season. Fans are eagerly anticipating the start of the season and are hopeful for a successful year for the team.
