For Roy, the wait to be drafted was both long and short (The Associated Press)

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) -- This much is certain: Jeremy Roy waited long enough to hear his name called at the NHL draft.

The actual length of that wait depends on perspective.

Was it 12 years, the amount of time he's been playing hockey? Was it 17 hours, the time that passed between the draft opening Friday night and his name being called as the 31st overall pick when festivities resumed Saturday morning? Or was it really just the 90 seconds that spanned the formal opening of the second round and the actual announcement?

Regardless, it's over.
