Marco Rossi was ecstatic about representing Austria at the 2021 World Junior Championships, determined to put in a good showing as the extreme underdog at the winter tournament. Unfortunately, the David in this situation gave way to multiple Goliaths and barely scored any goals throughout their matches, allowing a total of 29 goals while scoring just once.
With all of that misery said and done and the United States awarded the gold medal, Rossi is currently in quarantine after arriving in Minnesota in preparation for the team’s training camp that started on Jan. 3.
There is general worry that he will not be cleared in time to even appear for any team scrimmage or participate in any activities before the season gets going next Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings.
