Roy is best known as the outstanding netminder for four Stanley Cup-winning teams: the Montreal Canadiens in 1986 and 1993, as well as the Colorado Avalanche in 1996 and 2001.

At a recent Kings-Red Wings game in Los Angeles, a 57-year-old former NHL star is being credited with saving a league employee's life by doing the Heimlich trick when the individual became 'purplish.' According to TMZ, Tony Hrkac, a former Tampa Bay Lightning scout, was seated in the Kings press box when someone started coughing. According to Hrkac, the individual began to change color when Hrkac arrived and administered the life-saving Heimlich attack. After coughing up a piece of pretzel, the employee who had no desire to be identified, began to breathe normally. Hrkac saved the person's life, according to those on the scene.
