Almost three years after his death, Pierre Lacroix will be inducted into the Hall of Fame with the 2023 vintage on Monday evening, in the builders category.
To witness this beautiful moment, Patrick Roy traveled to Toronto to see his good friend be inducted among the legends of hockey.
“I’m so happy for him, so proud to see his talent being recognized. I was lucky, because I had him as an agent and also as a general manager,” mentioned Roy in an interview with Renaud Lavoie.
Initially the goalie’s agent, Lacroix became general manager of the Nordiques in 1994, a year before the team moved to Colorado.
He acquired Roy on December 6, 1995, a transaction that would greatly help the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup twice.
“As an agent, he was a guy who had extremely strong values and as GM he did an extraordinary job with the Avalanche. His dream was to win the Stanley Cup and I am sure that during his lifetime, he would have liked to be here,” Roy continued.
See the interview above. Roy also comments on the induction of Pierre Turgeon and Mike Vernon.
