“Alex is our best defensive center, as well as one of our top offensive weapons,” Eagles’ coach Dan Giachino said. “He plays a complete game.”

Alex moved to the top of the scoring charts last weekend with a goal and an assist against the unbeaten Capital Centre Pride giving him points in seven of the Eagles nine games this season, including points in five of the team’s six November games.

“He can score when needed, he plays physical and he is our team captain,” Giachino said.

Roy, a native of Hancock, Mich. is a 1992-birth year player, stands 6-foot and weighs in at 175 pounds. Last season in 10 NLHL games he scored six goals and added one assist, a mark he has already doubled in just nine games this season.

“Alex works hard every day in practice, and sets a good example for the other kids,” Giachino said.
