He left St. Cloud as the school's all-time assist leader and third all-time in points scored.[1] After graduating in 2011, he spent his first years of professional hockey in the AHL, playing for the Adirondack Phantoms.[2]

Roe signed a deal with EC Salzburg of the Austrian elite league EBEL for the 2013-14 campaign.

He joined EHC München of the German DEL on a one-year contract on June 5, 2014, following head coach Don Jackson from fellow Red Bull sponsored EC Salzburg.[3] In München, he recorded 13 goals and 38 assists in 51 games which ranked him ninth in the DEL in scoring.

Roe moved to Sweden for the 2015–16 season, signing with Linköpings HC of the country's top-tier competition SHL.

On April 27, 2017, Roe agreed to a two-year contract with EV Zug of the National League (NL). At the completion of a successful stint with Zug, Roe opted to continue in Switzerland agreeing to a two-year contract with rival club, ZSC Lions, on April 24, 2019.[4] On February 17, 2021, the Lions signed Roe to an early two-year contract extension through to the end of the 2022–23 season.[5]

Following four seasons with ZSC, Roe left the club at the conclusion of his contract. He was initially signed to a one-year contract to continue in Switzerland with the SCL Tigers of the NL, however mutually terminated his deal opting to return to North America on July 13, 2023.[6]
