Biography

Hailing from Saskatoon, Canada, Josh Roach first joined the Belfast Giants’ roster in 2018/19 before going on to play with the Black Wings Linz in the Austrian ICE Hockey League (ICEHL) and Kenaston Blizzards in the Saskatchewan Valley Hockey League (SVHL). He returned to the land of the Giants midway through the 2022/23 season to contribute as a solid defenceman in a historical treble-winning campaign for the men in teal, posting 2 goals and 16 assists in 25 Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) games.

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 most recent treble trophy hoist with the men in teal in 2022/23.

During the off-season, Roach has remained in Belfast to undergo surgery and rehabilitation following an injury; the 30-year-old will start the 2023/24 season on the Giants’ injury reserve and will be an integral part of the squad when cleared to return to action. He is an important person to have in the room, and his impact on the teams’ winning performance spoke volumes throughout last season.
