The 6-foot, 180 pound goaltender was acquired by the Flames on Nov. 8, 2013 along with defenseman Ladislav Smid from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for goaltender Laurent Brossoit and center Roman Horak.

Roy also went 7-2-0 in regular season play with Stockton, boasting a .961 save percentage, 1.21 goals-against-average and one shutout.

The native of Causapscal, Quebec is 11-11-1 with a .904 save percentage in 29 career American Hockey League games with Oklahoma City and Springfield.
Roy was selected by Edmonton in the fifth round (133rd overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft and entered the draft as the second highest North American goaltender by the Central Scouting Bureau. He represented Canada at the 2011 World Junior Hockey Championships and was named to the Canadian Hockey League All-Rookie Team in 2007-08 with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles.
