Nicolas Roy

Nicolas Roy (French pronunciation: [ʁwa]; born February 5, 1997) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). Roy was drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes, 96th overall, in the 2015 NHL entry draft. Roy won the Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023. Prior to turning professional, Roy had a prolific major junior hockey career with the Chicoutimi Saguenéens. Although he was drafted first overall by the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles at the 2013 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) entry draft, he refused to play for the league unless his rights were traded to a Quebec-based one. Internationally, Roy has competed for Canada at the 2014 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament, 2015 IIHF World U18 Championships, and 2017 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.
