Dave Roche (born June 13, 1975 in Lindsay, Ontario) is a retired Canadian ice hockey player who played in the NHL for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Calgary Flames and New York Islanders. Roche was drafted by the Penguins in the third round, 62nd overall in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career[]

Roche played four seasons in the Ontario Hockey League prior to turning pro where he was a member of the OHL champion Peterborough Petes in 1992–93. In 1994–95 he was named an OHL First Team All-Star while a member of the Windsor Spitfires.

He turned pro in 1995–96, playing 71 games with the Penguins, and 61 more the following year. Unable to duplicate his junior scoring prowess, Roche soon found himself in the minor leagues until a trade to Calgary brought him back to the NHL for 36 games in 1998–99. In 2000, Roche helped lead the Saint John Flames to the Calder Cup. Roche played one game with the Islanders in 2001–02, and retired following the 2003–04 campaign.
