(April 17, 1975 – October 29, 2020) was an American college

player and philanthropist. TRAVIS ROY
signed ELEVEN SECONDS “A Story of Tragedy, Courage, & Triumph” 1998 1st Edition Book with Dust Jacket
In this heartfelt testament to the power of love and the strength of the human spirit, Travis Roy, who suffered a devastating injury eleven seconds into his first college hockey game, reveals how he has managed to cope after the accident and, with the help of family and friends, overcome tremendous barriers to begin a new life.
Within the 11 seconds that inspired this memoir, Travis Roy realized his dream, then smashed into his nightmare. On an October night in 1995, Roy, a talented young hockey player, skated onto the ice for his varsity debut with Boston University. Eleven fateful seconds later, he was paralyzed from the neck down. Aided by the sure touch of Sports Illustrated hockey writer E.M. Swift, Roy’s moving account of his accident and his rehabilitation–confined to a wheelchair, he’s gotten some use of his right arm back–avoids the maudlin.Instead, Eleven Seconds is filled with grit, hope, humor, and a thoughtful young man’s introspection on the meaning of sports and the adjustments that follow when the ability to play them is taken away.
