Travis Roy Biography and Trivia

Cult/Star player for Tabor Academy

On October 20, 1995 – just eleven seconds into his first-ever shift for Boston University men's ice hockey team – a 20-year-old Roy slid head-first into the boards after University of North Dakota player Mitch Vig avoided Roy's check. The awkward impact with the boards resulted in Roy cracking his fourth and fifth vertebra and leaving him a quadriplegic.

After the accident, Travis was involved in motivational speaking and founded an organization to enhancing the life of individuals with spinal cord injuries. Sadly, Travis passed away in October 2020 at the age of 45.
