He is fifth on the franchise list in career assists with 106 and earlier this season, passed Stephane Morin for second-place on Manitoba's all-time points list with 203. So far this year, Roy has five goals and three assists for eight points, along with 79 penalty minutes in 28 games. In 2003, Roy won the Yanick Dupre Memorial Award as the American Hockey League's Man of the Year for his community service efforts in the Winnipeg community.
