Playing career
[edit]A native of Kirkland Lake, ON and the son of Ken and Goldie, Garth Joy played for the Hamilton Steelhawks of the OHL for two seasons until he was drafted. Joy was selected 222nd overall in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft. He was 11th choice of the Minnesota North Stars, but never played a game in the NHL.[2] He continued to play major junior hockey for the Hamilton Steelhawks before being acquired by the Kingston Raiders, another OHL team.
