Patrick Roy

Patrick Roy might be my favorite kind of athlete, the one who changed how his position is even played. Being called the king of goaltenders isn't hyperbole when you've got the hardware to back it, three Conn Smythe trophies, the Vezina, and a place among the 100 Greatest NHL Players. What I find compelling is that he didn't fade out, he reinvented himself as a coach and executive, most recently with the New York Islanders. To me that second act says everything: the competitive fire that made him great between the pipes never cooled. A goalie from Quebec City who became a legend, that's a story I never tire of.
