“My name is Antoine Roussel, and scoring is my passion.”
Those were the words spoken by forward Antoine Roussel in his youth highlight tape, though they were initially said in French.
The 27-year-old from Roubaix, France has lived up to his claims through his professional hockey performance. For Dallas Stars fans, it’s been an absolute pleasure being able to watch him blossom into a full-time NHL player.
Ever since scoring in his NHL debut on February 1, 2013, the Stars have possessed a new edge with Roussel on the ice. He’s got a certain element about him that is hard to find in professional hockey players, thus making him a rare acquisition.
