Report: Roy will retire
TSN.ca Staff

A published report out of Colorado says Patrick Roy has decided to retire after 18 seasons.
The Boulder Daily Camera quotes sources outside of the Avalanche organization who say an official announcement could be made as early as today.
Television station KUSA, the NBC affiliate in Denver, has said Roy will announce his retirement on Wednesday.
The 37 year old Roy said recently he is "90 percent" sure of his future plans, but would wait until after the NHL playoffs are over before announcing his decision.
He also told the Denver Post that this week would be a critical one on his way to making a final decision about retirement.
Roy is the career leader in goaltending victories and won the Conn Smythe Trophy - awarded to the most valuable player of the playoffs - three times. Roy has also won four Stanley Cup rings, two with Montreal and two with Colorado.
"Every year I come in, I don't know how many more I have," Roy said on the eve of this year's first-round playoff matchup with Minnesota. "The last three, four years, I say, 'That could be the last one.'"
The Avalanche let a 3-1 series lead against the Wild evaporate, losing in a seventh and deciding game last month.
