Patrick Jacques Roy[1][2] (French pronunciation:[ʁwa]; born October 5, 1965) is a Canadian professional ice hockey coach, executive, and former player who is the head coach for the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League (NHL). Roy was hailed in sports media as "king of goaltenders" and was named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in history in 2017.[3][4][5][6] Nicknamed "Saint Patrick", he 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.[7] On November 13, 2006, Roy was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.[8] 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,[9] which has since become the dominant style of goaltending around the world.
After retiring, Roy was head coach for the Colorado Avalanche of the NHL, as well as the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL).[7][8] He joined the Islanders as head coach in January 2024.
