Colorado's Patrick Roy is retiring, ending the 18-year career of one of the greatest goaltenders in NHL history.

8(

Patrick Roy has been my hockey hero since I was 13 years old and he won the first of four Stanley Cup and and first of his record-setting three Conn Smythe Trophy's in his rookie year. I decided I wanted to be a goalie because of that performance. Since then he's broken just about every record in the book for the position many believe to be the most important in all sports. Tomorrow will be a sad day.
