Rossi shines in first game with ZSC Lions

The Zurich club is where Rossi played with their U20 squad prior to coming over to North America to play for the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League, and therefore owns his rights for the Swiss National League. Ten games into their season before the 19-year-old arrived, the Lions were on a three-game losing streak before facing HC Davos on Friday with the young star in the lineup.
