Rocky Trottier (born April 11, 1964) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played 38 games in the National Hockey League (NHL) over two seasons with the New Jersey Devils.
Trottier, whose brother Bryan was part of the New York Islanders' dynasty of the early 1980s, was drafted by the then-unnamed New Jersey team with their first pick in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft; the former Colorado Rockies franchise had just relocated from Denver and had not yet announced a name. He was one of two New Jersey first-round picks in that draft; the other, Ken Daneyko, went on to play for the Devils for twenty seasons.
