When Harvard grabbed the regular-season ECAC title February 24 with a 4-2 win over St. Lawrence, Roy was in between the pipes.

"Al's more of a technique goaltender," Harvard Captain Lane MacDonald says. "Fundamentally, he is very solid and he is very quick."

Roy's most memorable play came December 10, when Harvard traveled to Durham, N.H., to face the University of New Hampshire. In that game, Roy collected 40 saves, and Harvard captured a 4-3 overtime victory.

In that game, he also made The Save.

With less than a minute remaining in regulation and the score tied, 3-3, UNH's Chris Jennes skated all alone into the Crimson zone. He unleashed a slapshot that had Roy beat.

Almost.

Roy leaped from the ice and kicked it away with his leg.

The UNH fans knew how to pronounce his name that night.

Career Move I

Like any other young Canadian boy, Roy started to play organized hockey at the early age of five.

During his rookie season, Roy laced up the skates and tried out the forward position.

"I couldn't skate that well," Roy says.

So the next year, at the age of six, Roy decided to make a career move.

Next stop, goaltender.

"My dad was my first coach when I was six," Roy says. "They needed a goaltender, and I wanted to play."
