Biography

From Saskatoon in Canada, Roach first joined the Giants ahead of the 2018/19 season, before going on to play with the Black Wings Linz in the Austrian ICE Hockey League and Kenaston Blizzards in the Saskatchewan Valley Hockey League. Roach then returned to Belfast midway through the 2022/23 season, contributing as a solid defenceman in the historic treble-winning campaign, registering two goals and 16 assists in 25 Elite Ice Hockey League appearances.

A testament to his commitment, Roach boasts a glittering collection of accolades in his ice hockey journey to date. To include among other highlights; his naming in the EIHL All-Star First Team in 2018/19 with the Belfast Giants, as well as winning both a double championship in 2018/19 and a treble trophy hoist with the men in teal in 2022/23.

After undergoing rehabilitation during the first half of the 2023/24 season, Roach returned to action in January 2024, notching an impressive 30 total points in 33 games in all competitions, helping the Giants to make the Playoff Finals Weekend at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham.
