Where Are

By Garth McLennan, Sports Editor

They Now?

 

 

Pat Quinn

The legendary Vancouver Canucks
and Toronto Maple Leafs coach is
currently out of the professional
coaching game at the moment, but has
stated his desire to get back involved.

While Quinn isn’t an NHL
coach anymore, he is still kicking
around the game. He coached Team
Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics
in Turin, Italy, and led the Canadian
squad to a championship effort in the
2006 Spengler Cup.

Aside from his coaching
and managing duties, Quinn has done
some colour analyst assignments and
is also active in junior hockey. He is
a part owner of the WHL’s Vancouver
Giants, who captured the 2007
Memorial Cup championship and are
in the running to repeat this year as
well.

 

 

 

 

Jared Aulin

Jared Aulin’s. hockey career has
definitely taken an unexpected turn.
The former Los Angeles Kings center
played just 17 games in the NHL, but
toiled in the American Hockey League
for several seasons.

Aulin appeared to be on top
of the world in LA. He was a prospect
on the rise that had a knack for scoring
goals and was dating Paris Hilton.

Aulin’s career took a turn for
the worse when he was dealt to the
Washington Capitals. He never played
in the NHL again and spent four years
in the minors. It only got worse during
the summer after a season with the
Springfield Falcons. Aulin had a seizure
on the ice after taking a vicious slash to
the neck.

Today Aulin plays for the
University of Calgary Dinos in the CIS
(Canadian Inter-University Sport), and
has said that a return to the professional
ranks may happen one day.

 

 

Aaron Sorochan

The former Vancouver Giants
goaltender lost some of the promise he
once displayed with the G-Men.
Sorochan played just one season with
Vancouver in the WHL, but had a
strong season before being pushed out
by Dustin Slade. He was traded to the
Lethbridge Hurricanes, another WHL
club, where he continued to excel.

After completing his five-year
junior hockey career, Sorochan moved
on to the University of Alberta, where
he has played the past two seasons and
is in his third year. Sorochan has been
brilliant in Alberta, leading the Golden
Bears to a national championship and
accumulating several accolades along
the way.

Sorochan’s brightest moment
came earlier this season when
Edmonton Oilers goaltender Dwayne
Roloson was sidelined with a bout
of the flu and the Oilers didn’t have
time to fly in a backup. They turned to
Sorochan, who was singed to a one-day
contract with the team and served as
back up.

 

 

 

Patrick Roy

Roy, now 42, is widely considered

as the best goaltender of all time.

He retired in 2003 at age 37 after an
extraordinary career that included four
Stanley Cups, three Conn-Smythe
Trophies as playoff MVP, and virtually
every important goaltending record.

More important than all
his records and awards is Roy’s
remarkable impact on the game. He is
largely responsible for popularizing
the goaltender’s position and is often
credited with inventing and refining
the butterfly style of play that is now
employed by hundreds of goalies at all
levels.

The Colorado Avalanche
retired Roy’s famous #33 in late 2003
and he was inducted into the Hockey
Hall of Fame in 2006, in his first year
of eligibility.

Roy is now the owner,
vice-president, general manager and
head coach of the QMJHL’s Quebec
Remparts. Roy has thrown himself
into the Remparts franchise and
guided them to the Memorial Cup
championship in 2006.
