Both Nicolas Roy and Patrick Roy are talented hockey players with the same last name. Nicolas is a forward for the Vegas Golden Knights, while Patrick is a retired Hall of Fame goaltender. With a shared last name and Canadian background, I’m wondering if they might be related. Are Nicolas Roy and Patrick Roy father and son, or perhaps more distant relatives?
Information online about Nicolas Roy and Patrick Roy being related is mixed.
While some sources claim they are cousins [source not found], there is no definitive proof to support this. Other reliable sources like Nicolas Roy’s Wikipedia page mention his parents as Nick and Lisa Roy, with no connection to Patrick Roy mentioned [Wikipedia: Nicolas Roy].
Given the lack of strong evidence and the common last name Roy in Quebec, Canada, it’s more likely that Nicolas Roy and Patrick Roy are not related.
