The son of former NHL goalie Patrick Roy apologized Monday for giving the finger to the crowd at a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League game - but not for pounding on the rival goalie.

"I acted in a way that is not acceptable for an athlete," Roy told a news conference in Quebec City.

"I gave the finger to the crowd and then after the game I made unacceptable comments in front of the cameras. I acted out of adrenalin and frustration. But like any athlete who wants to play and win, I didn't have the right to act that way.

"I want to take this opportunity to apologize for my comments and gestures toward Chicoutimi hockey fans as well as people who saw me and heard me on television. You will never see me behave like that again."
