André Roy

André Roy (born February 8, 1975) is an American-born Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played in the National Hockey League (NHL).
==Playing career==
Roy was born in Port Chester, New York. As a youth, he played in the 1989 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Montreal. Roy played junior ice hockey in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
Roy was drafted by the Boston Bruins, 151st overall in the sixth round of the 1994 NHL Entry Draft and has also played for the Ottawa Senators, the Tampa Bay Lightning (where he won the Stanley Cup in 2004), the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Calgary Flames. During the 2006–07 season, Roy was placed on waivers by the Penguins and claimed by the Lightning, where he was a popular, though seldom used, enforcer. 
His toughness, however, brought about consequences in his actions. 
===Controversies===
On April 2, 2002, Roy received a combined 13-game suspension by the NHL, after prematurely exiting the penalty box and assaulting a linesman the previous night, amid a loss against his hometown New York Rangers. “Tampa Bay's André Roy Suspended” – AP News With only seven games remaining that season, the suspension carried over into the first six games of the 2002-2003 season. “Tampa's Roy banned for 13 games” – United Press International
Roy was ultimately removed from the Tampa Bay Lightning official roster, after a fallout with then-coach John Tortorella. In an away game against the Philadelphia Flyers, Roy fought Riley Cote twice. After being knocked down from a punch in the latter fight, Roy made a "slash throat" hand gesture toward Cote while on the bench. Tortorella had to physically remove Roy from the bench. For the remainder of the 2007–08 season (about 15 games), Roy was a healthy scratch. On July 20, 2008, Roy signed with the Calgary Flames.
In February 2009, Los Angeles Kings general manager Dean Lombardi raised eyebrows by singling out Roy as a "one-dimensional player." Said Lombardi, "So who's the one-dimensional player? André Roy from Calgary, maybe. They dressed him the other night. He's a battleship. He played, what, two minutes? So, okay, there's one, but I'd like to know how many of those guys there really are."{{cite - After informing Roy of Lombardi’s comments , Roy replied by saying « one-dimensional player?? « I have more goals and points than all the enforcers together that he has signed during his stint has a GM..How’s that for a one-dimensional player!! web|last1=Koshan|first1=Terry|title=Habs plagued by controversy|url=http://slam.canoe.com/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Montreal/2009/02/21/8477696-sun.html|website=canoe.com|publisher=Sun Media|accessdate=January 28, 2017|date=February 21, 2009}}
==Personal life==
Roy has two brothers, Marc and Kevin. Although born in Port Chester, New York, he was raised in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec and speaks fluent Canadian French. After winning the Stanley Cup in 2004, Roy used his day with the Cup to present an engagement ring to his future wife.Stanley Cup Journal They married on July 23, 2005 and have a daughter.
