Joshua Roy (born August 6, 2003) is a Canadian professional ice hockey winger for the Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL).
A highly touted prospect upon entering the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) with the Saint John Sea Dogs, early struggles led to a decline in his reputation, and he was ultimately selected by the Canadiens in the fifth round (150th overall) in the 2021 NHL entry draft. Following a trade to the Sherbrooke Phoenix, Roy would see a substantial increase in his production, winning the Jean Béliveau Trophy as the league's top scorer for the 2021–22 season.
Internationally, Roy was part of the Canadian national junior team that won gold medals at both the 2022 and 2023 World Junior Championships.
