Joshua Roy may end up looking back at what transpired nearly a year ago as a turning point in his hockey career.
It wasn’t until January 2021 that the QMJHL first overall pick was traded from Saint John to Sherbrooke at his request. A few months later, he would be drafted in the fifth round of the NHL Draft by the Montreal Canadiens. He constantly said that he wanted to be better, that it was a wake up call for him. He would show up to rookie camp and make a name for himself, earning himself a short invite to the team’s main camp.
