Patrick Roy climbed to the top of the mountain with the QMJHL’s Quebec Remparts, who hoisted the CHL’s 2023 Memorial Cup on Sunday, but it will not lead to a NHL head coaching gig with the New York Rangers.

The Post has learned that the Rangers do not consider Roy a coaching candidate and he will not receive an interview for the position.

The Rangers have not reached out to Roy, and there is no plan to do so.

John Hynes and Peter Laviolette remain the front-runners for the open job behind the Blueshirts bench.

The Rangers are still doing their due diligence on both candidates before a final decision is made.
