Nicknamed "'''Saint Patrick'''", Roy split his playing career in the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) between the [[Montreal Canadiens]], with whom he played for 11 years, and the [[Colorado Avalanche]], with whom he played for eight years. Roy won the [[Stanley Cup]] four times during his career, two with each franchise.

In 2004, Roy was selected as the greatest goaltender in NHL history by a panel of 41 writers, coupled with a simultaneous fan poll.<ref name="hailed">{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nhl/news/story?id=1923345|publisher=ESPN|last=The Hockey News|title=St. Patrick hailed as patron saint of stopping pucks|date=November 22, 2004|access-date=April 11, 2007}}</ref> On November 13, 2006, Roy was inducted into the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]].<ref name="legends">{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/roy-tops-2006-hall-of-fame-class-1.611842|publisher=CBC.ca/Sports Online|title=Roy tops 2006 Hall of Fame class|date=June 2006|access-date=May 26, 2018}}</ref> He is the only player in NHL history to win the [[Conn Smythe Trophy]] (the award given to the Most Valuable Player in the [[Stanley Cup playoffs]]) three times, the only one to do so in three different decades (1980s, 1990s, and 2000s), and the only one to do so for two different teams. Roy's number 33 sweater is retired by both the Canadiens and Avalanche.

Roy is widely credited with popularizing the [[butterfly style]] of goaltending,<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.si.com/vault/2009/03/16/105787319/painfully-hip|magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]]|title=Painfully hip|date=March 16, 2009|access-date=May 26, 2018|author=DavidEpstein|author-link=David Epstein (journalist)}}</ref> which has since become the dominant style of goaltending around the world.

==Early life==
Roy was born in [[Quebec City]] but grew up in [[Cap-Rouge, Quebec City|Cap-Rouge]], [[Quebec]]. His parents are Barbara (Miller) and Michel Roy,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/breakaway/peter-black/2014/02/21/barbara-miller-roy-st-pats-grand-marshal/ |title=Breakaway {{pipe}} Barbara Miller-Roy: St. Pat's grand marshal |publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation |date=2014-02-21 |access-date=2016-06-30}}</ref> and he has a younger brother, [[Stéphane Roy (ice hockey, born 1967)|Stéphane]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=80692|title=Stéphane Roy b. 1967|website=Eliteprospects.com|access-date=2019-01-13}}</ref> Roy became interested in being an ice hockey goaltender when he was seven years old, idolizing [[Rogie Vachon]] and [[Dan Bouchard]].<ref name="si1986">{{cite magazine |title =King Of The Kiddie Corps|url =https://www.si.com/vault/1986/10/13/114159/king-of-the-kiddie-corps-montreals-patrick-roy-leads-the-wave-of-kids-who-disprove-the-theory-that-old-goalies-are-best|author =Kravitz, Bob|magazine =[[Sports Illustrated]]|date=1986-10-13|access-date =2018-05-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180526190802/https://www.si.com/vault/1986/10/13/114159/king-of-the-kiddie-corps-montreals-patrick-roy-leads-the-wave-of-kids-who-disprove-the-theory-that-old-goalies-are-best|archive-date=2018-05-26}}</ref> He played in the 1977 and 1978 [[Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament]]s on a [[minor ice hockey]] team from Quebec City, which included his brother in 1978.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|title=Pee-Wee players who have reached NHL or WHA|year=2018|website=Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament|access-date=2019-01-13}}</ref> After playing for the local Sainte-Foy Gouverneurs, he played for the Granby Bisons of the QMJHL(Quebec Major Junior Hockey League). He then began his professional career with the [[Sherbrooke Canadiens]] of the [[American Hockey League]] (AHL).{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}

==Playing career==
===Montreal Canadiens (1984–95)===
Roy was drafted in the third round, 51st overall, in the [[1984 NHL Entry Draft]] by the [[Montreal Canadiens]], a team he disliked, being a fan of the rival [[Quebec Nordiques]].<ref name="legendsofhockey">{{cite news |title =Patrick Roy biography|url =http://www.legendsofhockey.net/LegendsOfHockey/jsp/LegendsMember.jsp?mem=P200602&type=Player&page=bio&list=ByName#photo|author =Legends of Hockey|publisher =Legends of Hockey|access-date =2007-12-29}}</ref> His grandmother Anna Peacock was a big Canadiens fan, but died before seeing her grandson being drafted.<ref name="si1993">{{cite magazine |title =Saving Grace|url =https://www.si.com/vault/1993/06/21/128799/saving-grace-in-a-final-series-to-remember-montreal-canadien-goalie-patrick-roy-helped-deliver-both-the-cup-and-his-first-daughter|author =Swift, E.M.|magazine =[[Sports Illustrated]]|date =1993-06-21|access-date =2018-05-26}}</ref> Roy kept playing for the [[Granby Bisons]] of the [[Quebec Major Junior Hockey League]] (QMJHL) before being called up by the Canadiens. Despite the thoughts that he was not going to play for the team, on February 23, 1985, he made his NHL debut when he replaced the Canadiens' starting goaltender, [[Doug Soetaert]], in the game's third period.<ref name="legendsofhockey"/> Roy played for 20 minutes and earned his first NHL win without allowing a goal.<ref name="legendsofhockey"/> After the game, he was reassigned to the Sherbrooke Canadiens of the AHL. Despite starting as a backup, Roy replaced Greg Moffett after he had equipment troubles during a game.<ref name="legendsofhockey"/> He earned a win, became the starting goaltender for the playoffs and led the team to a [[Calder Cup]] championship with ten wins in 13 games.<ref name="legendsofhockey"/>

In the following season, Roy started playing regularly for the Canadiens and took over the starting goaltender's job when incumbent [[Steve Penney (ice hockey)|Steve Penney]] was injured in January. He played 47 games during the regular season and won the starting job for the [[Stanley Cup playoffs]], where he emerged as a star,<ref name="encarta">{{cite news|title=Patrick Roy |url=http://encarta.msn.com/text_761595702___0/Patrick_Roy.html |author=Encarta |publisher=[[Microsoft]] |access-date=2007-12-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090428164945/http://encarta.msn.com/text_761595702___0/Patrick_Roy.html |archive-date=2009-04-28 |author-link=Encarta }}</ref> leading his team to an unexpected [[Stanley Cup]] title and winning the [[Conn Smythe Trophy]] for the Most Valuable Player in the playoffs.<ref name="legendsofhockey"/> As a 20-year-old, he became the youngest Conn Smythe winner ever and was chosen for the [[NHL All-Rookie Team]].<ref name="si1986" /><ref>{{cite web|title=Patrick Roy profile|url=https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=4688 |publisher=[[National Hockey League]]|access-date=2007-12-29 }}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

Nicknamed St. Patrick after the victory, Roy continued playing for the Canadiens, who won the [[Adams Division]] in [[1987–88 NHL season|1987–88]] and in [[1988–89 NHL season|1988–89]], when they lost to the [[Calgary Flames]] in the [[1989 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup Finals]]. Roy, together with [[Brian Hayward]], won the [[William M. Jennings Trophy]] in 1987, 1988, and 1989, as the Canadiens regularly allowed the fewest goals against. In 1989 and 1990, he won the [[Vezina Trophy]] for best goaltender in the NHL and was voted for the [[NHL All-Star team|NHL first All-Star team]]. In [[1991–92 NHL season|1991–92]], the Canadiens won the Adams Division again, with Roy having a very successful individual year, winning the William M. Jennings Trophy, and Vezina Trophy and being selected for the NHL's first All-Star team. Despite the successful regular season, the Canadiens were swept in the second round by the [[Boston Bruins]], who stopped their playoff run for the fourth time in five years.

In the [[1992–93 NHL season|1992–93 season]], the Canadiens fell from first overall in March to finish the regular season third in their division behind title winner Boston Bruins and a resurgent second-place Quebec Nordiques.<ref name="The '93 Habs and the last time the">{{cite web | url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/montreal-canadiens-stanley-cup-1993-oral-history/ | title=The '93 Habs and the last time the Cup came home to Canada }}</ref><ref name="sportsnet.ca">{{Cite web|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/montreal-canadiens-stanley-cup-1993-oral-history/|title=Celebrating the '93 Montreal Canadiens and Canada's last Cup}}</ref> During the first round of the [[1993 Stanley Cup playoffs|1993 playoffs]] against the archrival Nordiques, Roy was in a goaltending duel against [[Ron Hextall]]; Hextall was also a Vezina and Conn Smythe winner with his previous team, the [[Philadelphia Flyers]], when they had several ill-tempered postseason encounters with Roy's Canadiens in the 1980s. The Canadiens lost the first two games of the series with Roy letting in soft goals, and a newspaper in Roy's hometown district suggested that he be traded with the headline "NORDIQUES WIN GAME, BATTLE OF GOALIES," while the subhead added (Quebec goaltender Ron) "HEXTALL GETS BETTER OF ROY."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/features/si_stanley_cup/1993/ |title=SI.com – 2003 NHL Playoffs – SI Flashback: Stanley Cup Finals – Tuesday April 08, 2003 01:48 PM |access-date=September 10, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090207213633/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/features/si_stanley_cup/1993/ |archive-date=February 7, 2009 }}</ref> Nordiques Goaltending Coach [[Dan Bouchard]] also proclaimed that his team had "solved Roy." These comments seemed to fire up Roy, who responded by winning the next four games against the Nordiques (Roy was replaced for part of Game Five by backup [[André Racicot]] after being struck by a puck in the collarbone<ref name="sportsnet.ca"/>), sweeping the [[Buffalo Sabres]] in the next round and winning the first three against the [[New York Islanders]] to tie the record of an 11-game playoff winning streak. Roy also set a record with ten straight playoff overtime wins – two against Quebec, three against Buffalo, two against the New York Islanders (where he denied [[Benoît Hogue]] and [[Pierre Turgeon]] on breakaways during overtime), and three against the [[Los Angeles Kings]] in the [[1993 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup Finals]]. Roy had led his team, which did not have a player that finished in the top twenty regular season scoring, to the Stanley Cup championship and was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner.<ref name="The '93 Habs and the last time the"/>

In 1994, the Canadiens were the defending champions but they were knocked out in the first round by the Boston Bruins. Nonetheless, that seven-game series was notable in the eyes of Montreal fans as Roy came down with [[appendicitis]] and missed Game 3. He convinced doctors to let him return for Game 4 and led the Canadiens to a 5–2 victory, stopping 39 shots. Roy was a finalist for the Vezina Trophy, finishing third in voting behind winner [[Dominik Hašek]] and runner-up [[John Vanbiesbrouck]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hockeygoalies.org/bio/roy.html |title=Patrick Roy (1985-2003) |publisher=Hockeygoalies.org |access-date=2011-03-15}}</ref>

====Trade to Colorado====
Four games into the [[1995–96 NHL season|1995–96 season]], [[Mario Tremblay]] was hired as Montreal's new head coach, replacing [[Jacques Demers]] who had been fired. Roy and Tremblay, who had roomed together while teammates, had a notably strained relationship, with Tremblay regularly mocking Roy for speaking [[broken English]]. Roy was a frequent target of Tremblay during the latter's sports radio career.<ref name = "remembering"/> The two had almost come to blows in two incidents in 1995, one at a [[Long Island]] coffee shop before Tremblay was announced as head coach, and Roy snickered when Tremblay arrived in the dressing room for the first time. They almost fought again after Tremblay allegedly fired a shot at Roy's throat during practice.

On December 2, 1995, in his 22nd game (and the team's 24th) of the 1995–96 season, Roy was in net against the [[Detroit Red Wings]] during Montreal's worst home game in franchise history, an 11–1 loss.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite web |url=http://www.legendsofhockey.net/html/ind06Roy.htm |title=Patrick Roy |publisher=Hockey Hall of Fame |access-date=2008-04-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080221214729/http://www.legendsofhockey.net/html/ind06Roy.htm |archive-date=2008-02-21 }}</ref> Roy allowed nine goals on 26 shots, which was highly unusual, as star goaltenders are generally taken out of the game quickly when it is clear they are struggling.<ref>{{cite web |author=Revisiting St. Patrick Roy and "Le Trade" |url=http://blogcritics.org/revisiting-st-patrick-roy-and-le/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201220905/http://blogcritics.org/revisiting-st-patrick-roy-and-le/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2014-02-01 |title=Revisiting St. Patrick Roy and "Le Trade" |publisher=Blogcritics.org |access-date=2016-06-30 }}</ref> During the second period, when Montreal was trailing 7–1 in the game, the crowd provided mock applause after Roy made an easy save on [[Sergei Fedorov]] from centre ice, prompting him to sarcastically raise his arms in mock celebration. Tremblay finally pulled Roy in the middle of the second period in favour of [[Pat Jablonski]].

During [[Molson Breweries]]' tenure as owner of the team, the rows of seats immediately behind the Canadiens' bench were under the exclusive control of Molson and as such were typically reserved for the use of executives of the Canadiens, Molson, or invited dignitaries. Since these seats were not available to the public, the standard glass partitions that separate hockey spectators from the team benches were not installed behind the home bench of the Forum. Because of this unusual arrangement, an enraged Roy had no time to regain his composure before approaching the team's top brass who were in attendance and their usual seats. Upon reaching the bench, Roy immediately stormed past his coach and told Canadiens President [[Ronald Corey]] "It's my last game in Montreal", before storming past Tremblay again and sitting down.<ref name = "remembering">{{cite news | url = https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=145407 | title = Remembering Roy's Career-Changing Game | publisher = TSN | date = 2005-12-02 | access-date = 2008-04-29| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20080916231444/https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=145407|archive-date=2008-09-16}}</ref> The next day, Roy was suspended by the Canadiens.

At the time, Tremblay told the media that he regretted not pulling Roy earlier in the game, but Roy later said that despite allowing five goals on 17 shots in the first, Tremblay kept him in the net to humiliate him. In later interviews, Roy cited a general distaste with what he thought was a loosening of standards with the team.<ref name="Meagher">{{cite news |title='I've never been back there' |url=http://www.canada.com/topics/sports/hockey/canadiensstory.html?id=21e7b9f5-b334-46ac-9f76-4a6b78ab809b |last=Meagher |first=John |work=The Gazette |date=2005-12-06 |access-date=2008-04-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080530224507/http://www.canada.com/topics/sports/hockey/canadiensstory.html?id=21e7b9f5-b334-46ac-9f76-4a6b78ab809b |archive-date=2008-05-30 }}</ref>

Four days after the incident, the Canadiens traded Roy and captain [[Mike Keane]] to the [[Colorado Avalanche]] in exchange for [[Jocelyn Thibault]], [[Martin Ručinský]] and [[Andrei Kovalenko]]. The return for Roy was seen as uneven at the time it was made and eventually became known as one of the most one-sided deals in NHL history. Canadiens General Manager [[Réjean Houle]] at the time had been GM for only 40 days and faced criticism for making the trade instead of trying to resolve the tension between Roy and Tremblay.<ref name="Meagher"/>

===Colorado Avalanche (1996–2003)===
In the 1995–96 season, after his mid-season trade from the Canadiens, Roy helped the Avalanche win their first Stanley Cup in their first season after moving from [[Quebec Nordiques|Quebec]]. He was a runner-up for the [[Vezina Trophy]] to [[Jim Carey (ice hockey)|Jim Carey]].

In the [[1996 Stanley Cup playoffs|1996 Western Conference Semifinals]] against the [[Chicago Blackhawks]], [[Jeremy Roenick]] was stopped by Roy on a breakaway during overtime in game four, while being hauled down by Avalanche defenceman [[Sandis Ozoliņš|Sandis Ozolinsh]]. The referee did not call for a [[Penalty shot (ice hockey)|penalty shot]] on the play and the Avalanche won in triple overtime on [[Joe Sakic]]'s game-winning goal. Two days prior, Roenick had scored on an unchallenged breakaway to tie the game and send it to overtime, and the Blackhawks ended up winning game three. After game four, Roenick told the media, "It should have been a penalty shot, there's no doubt about it. I like Patrick's quote that he would've stopped me. I'd just want to know where he was in game three, probably getting his jock out of the rafters in the United Center maybe." Roy retorted with: "I can't really hear what Jeremy says, because I've got my two Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Roenick |first1=Jeremy |last2=Allen |first2=Kevin |title=J.R.: My Life as the Most Outspoken, Fearless, and Hard-Hitting Man in Hockey |date=2012 |publisher=Triumph Books |page=[https://archive.org/details/jrmylifeasmostou0000roen/page/n265 236] |url=https://archive.org/details/jrmylifeasmostou0000roen |url-access=registration |access-date=25 April 2020}}</ref> Roy and the Avalanche beat the Blackhawks in six games and went on to win the [[1996 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup]].

Roy was a large part of the Avalanche–Red Wings rivalry, which also involved players [[Adam Foote]] and [[Brendan Shanahan]], among others. The Avalanche and Red Wings met in the playoffs five times from 1996 to 2002, with the Avs winning in 1996, 1999, and 2000. The heated competition between teams is linked to the 11–1 Montreal loss to Detroit that precipitated Roy's midseason trade to Colorado in December 1995, and in that season's 1996 conference finals Roy helped his new team eliminate first-place Detroit. During the [[Colorado Avalanche–Detroit Red Wings brawl|Avalanche–Red Wings brawl in 1997]], he fought the Wings' goaltender [[Mike Vernon (ice hockey)|Mike Vernon]]. The next season, he fought another Red Wings goaltender, [[Chris Osgood]]. In what would be Roy's final playoff meeting with Detroit, he was pulled after allowing six goals in game seven of the [[2002 Stanley Cup Playoffs#Conference finals|2002 Western Conference finals]], a game Detroit won 7–0 to advance to the [[2002 Stanley Cup Finals|Stanley Cup Finals]].

In [[2000–01 NHL season|2000–01]], Roy's Avalanche won the [[Presidents' Trophy]] for the best regular season record. In the playoffs, his team advanced to the [[2001 Stanley Cup Finals|Finals]], where they faced the defending champion [[New Jersey Devils]], who were backstopped by [[Martin Brodeur]], a star netminder who had idolized Roy as a child. In game four, while playing the puck behind his net, Roy could not make a clearing pass, allowing the Devils to score into an [[Empty net goal|empty net]] to tie the game.<ref>[http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/2001/playoffs/news/2001/06/09/roy_connsmyth.ap]{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} </ref> Roy had his worst game of the Finals in a 4–1 loss during game five, which gave the Devils a 3–2 series lead but rebounded in game six by stopping 24 shots for his then-record 19th career playoff shutout in a 4–0 victory. The Avalanche jumped to a three-goal lead in game seven before conceding one consolation goal to win their second Stanley Cup. Roy was named playoff MVP for the third time in his career, an NHL record. Roy has said that he and his teammates had wanted to win it for [[Ray Bourque]], who finally won his first Cup after 22 seasons in the NHL; Bourque who had previously played 21 seasons with the [[Boston Bruins]] had numerous playoff encounters against Roy when he was with the Canadiens.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/2001/playoffs/ |title=CNNSI.com – 2001 NHL Playoffs |access-date=April 20, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130729082951/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/2001/playoffs/ |archive-date=July 29, 2013 }}</ref>

Roy's final game was played against the [[Minnesota Wild]] on April 22, 2003, in a game seven overtime loss in the first round of the [[2003 Stanley Cup playoffs|2003 playoffs]].

Patrick Roy announced his retirement on May 28, 2003.

==International play==
Roy was selected as [[Canadian men's national ice hockey team|Canada]]'s starting goaltender for the [[Ice hockey at the 1998 Winter Olympics|1998 Winter Olympics]]. Roy played all six games, but Canada failed to win a medal after a shootout loss to the [[Czech Republic men's national ice hockey team|Czech Republic]] in the semifinal.<ref name="hockeyarchives.info">{{cite web|url=http://www.hockeyarchives.info/JO1998.htm |title=Jeux Olympiques de Nagano 1998 – Hockey sur glace |website=Hockeyarchives.info |access-date=2016-06-30}}</ref> Roy and Hašek both had [[save percentage]]s above .950 entering into the game, and regulation ended in a 1–1 tie. After a scoreless overtime, the Czechs beat Canada 1–0 in the tiebreaking shootout.<ref name="hockeyarchives.info"/> After the loss, their first of the tournament, the Canadians could not regain momentum for the bronze medal game and subsequently lost 3–2 to [[Finland men's national ice hockey team|Finland]],<ref name="hockeyarchives.info"/> denying Roy his only chance at an Olympic medal. Roy had a 4–2 record with one shutout while averaging 1.46 [[goals against average|goals against per game]] and stopping .935 percent of total shots faced.

Roy declined the opportunity to play for Canada at the [[Ice hockey at the 2002 Winter Olympics|2002 Winter Olympics]] before the team's selection took place.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/roy-out-of-olympics-1.292077 | publisher=CBC News | title=Roy out of Olympics | date=2001-11-23 |access-date=2018-05-26}}</ref>

==Post-playing career==
[[File:Quebec Remparts at Halifax Mooseheads (Feb 22 2009).jpg|thumb|Roy behind the bench as the head coach of the [[Quebec Remparts]] during a game in 2009]]
After retiring from the NHL, Roy joined the [[Quebec Remparts]] of the [[Quebec Major Junior Hockey League]] (QMJHL) as [[vice-president]] of hockey operations; he also became the [[owner]] and [[general manager]], and on September 29, 2005, he was named [[head coach]] of the team.

On May 28, 2006, the Remparts won the [[2006 Memorial Cup]], the top [[Canadian Hockey League]] (CHL) tournament, beating the [[Moncton Wildcats]] 6–2 in the finals (although the Remparts were only the runner-up in the 2006 QMJHL championship, they were able to participate in the Memorial Cup since the QMJHL champions were the host city—see [[Memorial Cup#1983 to Present|Memorial Cup, 1983 to present]]). Roy is the seventh coach to win the Cup in his rookie year, and the first to do so since [[Claude Julien (ice hockey)|Claude Julien]] with the [[Gatineau Olympiques|Hull Olympiques]] in 1997.

On January 19, 2007, [[Saguenay, Quebec|Saguenay]] Police investigated an incident involving Roy and the co-owner of the [[Chicoutimi Saguenéens]], Pierre Cardinal. There were reports that Roy threw punches at the co-owner after he intervened to disperse a crowd of hockey fans that were blocking the Remparts' bus after a game between the two clubs. A complaint for [[assault]] had been filed against Roy, who faced possible assault charges in the matter. [[Montreal]] newspaper ''[[Le Journal de Montréal]]'' reported that Roy later apologized to the victim via telephone.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2007/01/20070121-064601.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071020132528/http://canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2007/01/20070121-064601.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 20, 2007 |title=Canoë – Sports – Encore dans l'eau chaude |publisher=.canoe.com |date=2007-01-21 |access-date=2011-03-15}}</ref><ref>[https://www.tsn.ca/chl/news_story/?ID=192978&hubname=Penitentes] {{dead link|date=June 2016}}</ref> In a press conference following a Remparts game on January 21, 2007, Roy said that he was "suffering prejudice on the part of the media," and believed that he was not guilty of the incident.

On March 22, 2008, in [[Chicoutimi, Quebec|Chicoutimi]], Quebec, Roy was involved in another on-ice incident during game two of a first-round playoff series against the rival Saguenéens. Late in the second period, in which the Saguenéens were leading 7–1, a brawl started and Remparts goaltender Jonathan Roy, Roy's son, charged towards opposing goaltender Bobby Nadeau. Jonathan hit Nadeau numerous times despite Nadeau indicating he did not want to fight. After knocking Nadeau down, Jonathan continued to hit Nadeau. Jonathan then fought a second Saguenéens player before skating off the ice while holding both middle fingers up to the crowd. Roy denied inciting his son Jonathan to fight, despite video evidence showing Roy making a gesture towards his son while he was advancing towards Nadeau. After an investigation by the League office, Patrick Roy was suspended for five games and fined $4,000, while his son Jonathan was suspended for seven games and fined $500. The Quebec Ministry of Public Safety has launched a police investigation into the matter.<ref>{{cite web|author=Québecor Média |url=http://www.canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2008/03/20080325-171157.html |title=Canoe Sports {{pipe}} Vidéos & Photos – Nouvelles – Résultats – Classement et Statistiques |publisher=Canoe.com |access-date=2016-06-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080330005839/http://www.canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2008/03/20080325-171157.html |archive-date=March 30, 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080325/brawl_suspension_080325/20080325?hub=TopStories |title=Patrick, Jonathan Roy suspended over brawl |publisher=CTV.ca |date=2008-03-25 |access-date=2011-03-15 }}{{dead link|date=July 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2008/03/20080324-100600.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080325193758/http://www.canoe.com/sports/nouvelles/archives/2008/03/20080324-100600.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 25, 2008 |title=Canoë – Sports – Les Roy dans la tourmente |publisher=.canoe.com |date=2008-03-24 |access-date=2011-03-15}}</ref> In late July 2008, Jonathan was charged with assault in Saguenay courts.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2008/07/31/roy_assault/ |title=Jonathan Roy charged with assault – |publisher=Sportsnet.ca |date=2008-07-31 |access-date=2011-03-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090913234759/http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2008/07/31/roy_assault/ |archive-date=2009-09-13 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

On November 21, 2008, Roy's other son, [[Frederick Roy]], found trouble playing for the Remparts when he cross-checked an opponent in the head after a stoppage in play. Frederick was ultimately suspended 15 games by the QMJHL for the incident, which occurred the night before Patrick Roy's jersey retirement ceremony in Montreal.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=AmkgcRMQLeR_tgQnLqxyDqB7vLYF?slug=txfrederickroysuspended&prov=st&type=lgns |title=Frederick Roy suspended 15 games – yahoo.com |publisher=Yahoo! |access-date=2011-03-15}}</ref>

In May 2009, several unnamed sources reported that Roy was offered the head coaching position with the Colorado Avalanche.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=115932&catid=339 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120722100608/http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=115932&catid=339 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-07-22 |title=Sources: Roy has offer to coach Avs |publisher=9news.com |date=2009-05-18 |access-date=2011-03-15 }}</ref> He turned down the position, but expressed the possibility of becoming an NHL-level coach at some future date.

In September 2012, Roy started a new chapter in his career by becoming a permanent member of the French–Canadian hockey talk show ''l'Antichambre'', where he worked as a hockey analyst. He was reunited on the set with his former head coach, [[Mario Tremblay]], the man in part responsible for his departure from Montreal.{{citation needed|date=April 2024}}

In January 2024, it was announced that Roy, in partnership with Canadian businessmen Jean Bédard and Jacques Tanguay (a former owner of the Remparts), had purchased a minority stake in [[Boxers de Bordeaux]], a professional team playing in the French [[Ligue Magnus]].<ref>{{cite web | url =https://www.journaldequebec.com/2024/01/18/patrick-roy-et-jacques-tanguay-investissent-dans-une-equipe-professionnelle-de-hockey-en-france | title =Patrick Roy et Jacques Tanguay investissent dans une équipe professionnelle de hockey en France | last1 =Dubé | first1 =Kevin | date =January 18, 2024 | work =[[Le journal de Québec]] | language =fr | access-date =April 10, 2024}}</ref>

===NHL coaching career===
[[File:Patrick Roy 2024.jpg|thumb|Roy behind the bench as the head coach of the [[New York Islanders]] during a game in 2024]]
On May 23, 2013, Roy was named head coach and vice-president of hockey operations of the [[Colorado Avalanche]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.thescore.com/home/articles/895928-avs-name-patrick-roy-new-head-coach |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130615203657/http://www.thescore.com/home/articles/895928-avs-name-patrick-roy-new-head-coach |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-06-15 |title=Avs name Patrick Roy new head coach |publisher=thescore.com |date=2013-05-23 |access-date=2013-05-23 }}</ref> [[The Sports Network|TSN]]'s [[Bob McKenzie (broadcaster)|Bob McKenzie]] reported that Roy would have the final say in all hockey matters. Then Avalanche general manager [[Greg Sherman]] retained his post, but was considered the general manager "in name only."{{citation needed|date=January 2017}}<!-- WP:RS needed; removed link to WP:SPS (Twitter, FB, WP)--> At the time, Roy was the only coach in the NHL who had the title or powers of general manager. Before the season started, his former Avs teammate, [[Joe Sakic]], was hired as executive vice president of hockey operations. Although the title nominally put him above Roy on the organization chart, Roy and Sakic shared most of the duties normally held by a general manager in the NHL–a practice that continued after Sakic was formally granted the title of general manager in 2014.

Roy's first regular season game with the Colorado Avalanche as coach was the home opener on October 2, 2013, a 6–1 win over the [[Anaheim Ducks]], where Roy got into a shouting match with Ducks head coach [[Bruce Boudreau]] and nearly broke the partition separating the two teams' benches.<ref>{{cite web|author=Tyler Brooke |url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1796544-patrick-roy-video-watch-avalanche-coach-go-after-bruce-boudreau-in-debut |title=Patrick Roy Video: Watch Avalanche Coach Go After Bruce Boudreau in Debut |publisher=[[Bleacher Report]] |date=2013-10-03 |access-date=2016-06-30}}</ref> Roy won his first six games as a rookie coach, coincidentally tying Mario Tremblay, his former coach with whom he had a feuding relationship, for the most consecutive wins at the beginning of an NHL coaching career.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brehm |first=Mike |date=2013-10-17 |title=Patrick Roy goes for record and other thoughts on a busy NHL night |url=http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/10/patrick-roy-goes-for-record-and-other-nhl-thoughts/ |access-date=2013-10-22 |website=For The Win|publisher=[[USA Today]]}}</ref>

In the [[2013–14 NHL season|2013–14 season]], Colorado racked up 112 points, won the [[Central Division (NHL)|Central Division]] title, tied a franchise record with 52 wins, posted the NHL's best road record (26–11–4) and had zero regulation losses when leading after two periods (35–0–3). For his team's success, Roy won the [[Jack Adams Award]] for the NHL's top coach, winning the honour over the [[Detroit Red Wings]]' [[Mike Babcock]] and the [[Tampa Bay Lightning]]'s [[Jon Cooper (ice hockey)|Jon Cooper]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Patrick Roy Named a Finalist for the Jack Adams Award|url=http://www.sportsmedia101.com/coloradoavalanche/2014/05/06/patrick-roy-named-a-finalist-for-the-jack-adams-award/|publisher=Sportsmedia101.com|access-date=2016-06-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306133659/http://www.sportsmedia101.com/coloradoavalanche/2014/05/06/patrick-roy-named-a-finalist-for-the-jack-adams-award/|archive-date=2016-03-06|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Patrick Roy wins Jack Adams Award|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=723700&navid=nhl:topheads/|publisher=National Hockey League|access-date=2016-06-30}}</ref>

During the [[2014 Stanley Cup playoffs]], Roy became known for aggressively pulling goaltender [[Semyon Varlamov]] to set up a 6-on-5, empty-net scenario, sometimes with as much as three minutes remaining in the game. However, the heavily favoured second seeded Avalanche ultimately lost in the first round to the seventh seeded Minnesota Wild at home in game seven.

The following [[2014–15 NHL season|season]], the Avalanche regressed significantly, finishing last (seventh) in their division for only the third time in the history of the organization.

On August 11, 2016, Roy, citing a lack of input in personnel decisions, stepped down as the head coach and vice-president of hockey operations for the Avalanche, and was subsequently replaced by [[Jared Bednar]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/patrick-roy-resigns-as-avalanche-coach/c-281317648|title=Patrick Roy resigns from Avalanche|publisher=[[National Hockey League]]|date=2016-08-11|accessdate=2016-08-11}}</ref>

==Personal life==
Patrick Roy married Michèle Piuze on June 9, 1990. They have three children: [[Jonathan Roy (singer)|Jonathan]], [[Frederick Roy|Frederick]] and Jana. His sons, Frederick and Jonathan, played for the [[Quebec Remparts]] during Roy's tenure as head coach of the team. His son Jonathan has since left hockey to pursue a music career.

While playing for the Avalanche, Patrick Roy was arrested for [[domestic violence]] on October 22, 2000, and was released on $750 bail. Roy and his wife were in an argument, and his wife made a hangup call to 911. Police found physical damage to the house and took Roy into custody.<ref>{{cite news | url = https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D04E3DA1731F930A15753C1A9669C8B63 | title = N.H.L.; Roy Is Charged With Domestic Violence | date = 2000-10-23 | access-date = 2008-11-05 | agency = Associated Press | work=The New York Times}}</ref> The presiding judge dismissed the case, citing it did not meet the standard for criminal mischief in a case of [[domestic violence]].<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/roy-cleared-of-mischief-charge-1.291176 | title = Roy cleared of mischief charge | date = 2001-02-01 | access-date = 2018-05-26 | publisher = Canadian Broadcasting Corporation}}</ref> Roy and Piuze divorced in early 2005; Roy has not remarried.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.denverpost.com/avalanche/ci_9277251 | work=The Denver Post | first=Adrian | last=Dater | title=Roy says no to Avs, will stay in Quebec | date=May 16, 2008}}</ref>

Since the 1980s, Roy has been a significant contributor to the [[Ronald McDonald House]] charity.

Roy was known for superstitious quirks.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/columns/top10/superstition.html |publisher=CBC News |title=CBC Sports Online: Top 10: Superstitious athletes |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130321010504/http://www.cbc.ca/sports/columns/top10/superstition.html |archive-date=March 21, 2013 }}</ref> He often talked to the net posts, and he never talked to reporters on days in which he was scheduled to play. He also refused to let his skates touch the red and blue lines on the ice, stepping over them.

==Legacy==
[[File:AvalancheRetiredJerseys.jpg|thumb|A banner with Roy's number 33 hung alongside other banners of retired numbers with the Avalanche]]
In 1989, 1990, and 1992, Roy won the [[Vezina Trophy]] as the NHL's best goaltender. He won the [[William M. Jennings Trophy|Jennings Trophy]] (fewest goals allowed) in 1987, 1988, 1989 (all shared with [[Brian Hayward]]), 1992 and 2002. He led the NHL in shutouts and goals against average twice, was named a First Team All-Star four times, a Second Team All-Star twice, and played in 11 [[National Hockey League All-Star Game]]s. Roy has also won a record three [[Conn Smythe Trophy|Conn Smythe Trophies]] as NHL playoff MVP (1986, 1993 and 2001). Among the many goaltending NHL records Roy holds are career playoff games played (247) and career playoff wins (151).

The Avalanche retired Roy's number 33 jersey on October 28, 2003, while the Montreal Canadiens retired Roy's number 33 on November 22, 2008. This made Roy the sixth NHL player to have his number retired by two organizations. Roy was elected to the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]] in 2006, his first year of eligibility.

Roy won over 200 games with two franchises (Montreal and Colorado).

Along with [[Terry Sawchuk]], Roy is directly credited with inspiring the [[number (sports)|jersey numbers]] that NHL goaltenders use; both are cited as the primary reason goaltenders have come to choose numbers in the 30s since their respective careers.<ref name=goalie1>{{cite web|last=Pinchevsky|first=Tal|title=Why goalies are increasingly ditching traditional No. 1|publisher=[[ESPN]]|date=November 30, 2016|url=https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/18268822/nhl-goalies-increasingly-ditching-traditional-no-1-other-numbers-their-sweaters|access-date=August 28, 2017}}</ref>
