Remembering Marc-Antoine Roy
Marc-Antoine developed a meaningful connection with Québec’s dek hockey community through his love for the sport.
Those who shared the court with him remember a player who brought energy and enthusiasm to competition while also building friendships away from the game.
Sports have a unique way of bringing people together. Practices, games, road trips, victories and difficult losses create relationships that can extend well beyond competition.
Marc-Antoine became part of that community.
His passing has therefore affected not only those closest to him personally but also players and supporters who came to know him through dek hockey.
Marc-Antoine Roy and the Victoriaville Lynx
Marc-Antoine was associated with the Victoriaville Lynx, competing within the Ligue Nationale de Hockey Balle.
His journey with the organization included being selected by the Lynx during the 2025 LNHB draft.
Marc-Antoine was chosen in the fourth round, giving him an opportunity to represent the organization and continue competing in the sport he loved.
Being drafted represented more than a place on a roster. It reflected the work and dedication he had put into his game and gave him another opportunity to compete alongside other talented players.
He subsequently appeared in league competition for Victoriaville, becoming part of the Lynx family.
Teammates Remember His Positive Energy
