Patrick Joseph DesRochers (surname pronounced DAY-RO-SHAY) (born 27 October 1979 in Penetanguishene, Ontario) is a Canadian retired ice hockey goaltender.
Playing career
He played junior hockey for the Sarnia Sting and Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League.
DesRochers played briefly for both the Phoenix Coyotes and Carolina Hurricanes of the NHL, but spent most of his professional career in the AHL with the Springfield Falcons (for whom he is the career leader among goaltenders in games played), Lowell Lock Monsters and San Antonio Rampage.
