Patrick Roy's Gene's Run Strong

Found this on With Leather.com. I love a goalie who will toss off the gloves and go to work. Here's the post from WL, and the video below.

Jonathan Roy, son of legendary goalie Patrick Roy, plays his father's position for the Quebec Remparts of the something-or-other league in Canadia. The video above shows the Remparts' brawl against the Chicoutimi Sagueneens (ed. note: the where whats now?). And as you can see from Jonathan's actions at about the 1:25 mark, it takes a real man to sneak away from being restrained in order to beat the crap out of someone who has done nothing to you and won't lift a finger against you.

Bonus points to Roy's teammate for tackling the ref who tries to intercede. You can do that in hockey? Wow.
