Patrick Joseph DesRochers (surname pronounced DAY-Rowshay) (born 27 October 1979 in Penetanguishene, Ontario) is a retired Canadian ice hockey goaltender.
Playing career
He played his junior career with the Sarnia Sting and Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League.
Though playing matches for both the Phoenix Coyotes and Carolina Hurricanes of the NHL, DesRochers played most of his career in the AHL with the Springfield Falcons (for whom he is the career leader in goaltending games played), Lowell Lock Monsters and San Antonio Rampage.
DesRochers went to Europe before the 2006-07 season, signing up with ETC Crimmitschau. He spent 2007-08 with the Augsburger Panther of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga but became a free agent after the club did not want to give him a contract extension because they preferred a German goalie. 12 April 2008, he was revealed as the new goaltender of Norwegian team Vålerenga.[1]
