Career

During this period he was selected in the fourth round of the 1989 NHL Entry Draft as the 69th player of the Winnipeg Jets , for which he never played.

Parallel to his ice hockey career, Roy was active for the St. Louis Vipers from 1994 to 1997 in the professional inline hockey league Roller Hockey International , which, unlike ice hockey, was held in the summer.
