Roy is a slick, speedy offensive-minded winger who is dynamic in the offensive zone, always trying to create by using his speed and skill. He skates very well both in terms of lateral agility and speed and explodes out of the gate with his rst few steps and has a solid change of pace that keeps defenders on their toes. He has quick and skilled hands that he uses to control the puck and pace of the play while he cuts to the net from the outside or to work the boards and win possession of the puck. He distributes very well with accurate and crisp passes but is more the goal scorer than set-up man even though he can do both. He does have a strong shot as it is both accurate and quick off his stick and he keeps the opposing goaltenders guessing as he will wire a wrist shot from the circles or keep it and take it right into their kitchen looking to bang it home in close. Roy plays with a surprising physicality to his game where he finishes hits, often surprising bigger opponents, and is not afraid to get gritty for pucks or mix it up after whistles. He supports his defense well by consistently coming back into his zone and proving an outlet. The biggest problem with Roy’s game is his defensive willingness to pick up a check and his consistency level from shift to shift. (May 2013)
