"More on the agent than the kid" "Not a good look - NHL fans left divided over Joshua Roy's no-show at Canadiens fan meet & greet

NHL fans are divided over Joshua Roy missing a Montreal Canadiens fan meet and greet. Roy's agent said he wasn’t told the date, but NHL insider Maxime Truman pointed out that Roy’s face and event details were clearly advertised. Roy was expected to sign autographs at Universe Collectibles in Vaudreuil from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm. Around 60 fans waited for an hour, but Roy didn’t show up, and fans were later reimbursed.

"Joshua Roy had 1 signing session ($) scheduled today: Universe Collectibles (Vaudreuil) from 2:30pm to 3:30pm. He had signed 1 contract. However, he did not give any sign of life and did not show up. About 60 fans waited for him for 1 hour. They were reimbursed." Truman tweeted.

Fans had mixed reactions to this, with some blaming the agent, while others felt it reflected poorly on Roy.

One fan commented, "That's more on the agent than the kid."

One fan remarked:

"Could be the advertisers falsely using Josh Roy’s name and image to bring people to their shop but his agent would’ve confirmed if that is the case 🤔" a fan said.

Here are some more reactions:

"if my job advertised me for a meet and greet and didn’t tell me i would also not show up bc im not googling that on my own" a fan wrote.

"Assuming that's true I don't think he's going to be googling himself to find out whether he has an event to attend. Someone in his team fu**ed up." another fan said.

"Am I missing something here? Sounds as though that because someone scheduled a player for an event, and it was posted online, people are mad at the player suggesting he should have known??" one fan mentioned.
