Patrick Roy stands as one of hockey’s greatest goaltenders, famed for his competitiveness, the butterfly style, and his clutch postseason performances. Drafted in the third round by Montreal in 1984, he burst onto the scene by winning the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe Trophy as a rookie in 1986. He followed that with another Cup and playoff MVP award in 1993.
After a trade, he guided Colorado to two more Stanley Cups (1996, 2001), claiming his third Conn Smythe in 2001. Roy became the first goalie to play 1,000 NHL games and retired in 2003 with 551 regular-season wins and 151 playoff victories—both NHL records at the time.
A three-time Vezina Trophy winner and five-time Jennings Trophy recipient, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2006. His number 33 hangs in both Montreal and Colorado. Post-retirement, Roy coached and managed in junior hockey and led the Islanders as head coach from 2024.
