Career

Rossiter spent his junior years between 1996 and 2000 with the Spokane Chiefs , which was based as a US franchise in the Canadian Junior League Western Hockey League (WHL). Previously, the defender had spent two years in lower-class junior leagues in the vicinity of his birthplace Edmonton in the province of Alberta . Rossiter played a total of four years with the Spokane Chiefs. After his second season, in which he increased from two to 25 scorer points and had participated with the team in the prestigious Memorial Cup , he was in the second round of the 1998 NHL Entry Draft in 30th place by the Florida Panthers from National Hockey League (NHL) selected. Within the WHL, he also received the Daryl K. (Doc) Seaman Trophy as the player who best combined good performance with school or academic success over the course of the season. In the final selection for the CHL Scholastic Player of the Year within the entire Canadian Hockey League , he then prevailed against Manny Malhotra and Michel Tremblay , who received equivalent awards in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec ( LHJMQ). Despite the choice in the draft, the 18-year-old stayed two more seasons in the WHL and played a total of 284 games in which he scored 86 times.

For the 2000/01 season , the Canadian moved to the professional field after he had signed a contract with the Florida Panthers. This put him in his rookie season, however, exclusively with the farm team Louisville Panthers in the American Hockey League (AHL), where he was used in 78 games. By changing the cooperation partner or dissolution of the franchise in Louisville, Rossiter went on the ice for the Utah Grizzlies at the beginning of the following season . At the end of the 2001/02 season , the defender also made his debut in the NHL for the Florida Panthers. In the following two game years he was still active in the AHL, where he was now part of the squad of the San Antonio Rampage , which also cooperated with the Panthers at the beginning of the 2002/03 season . He also came to other missions in the NHL in both years. There he ran seven more times up to March 2004. At the Trade Deadline 2004, Rossiter left the Florida Panthers organization after almost four years in a row and switched to the Atlanta Thrashers in exchange for the Czech Kamil Piroš . With the exception of two NHL games, he worked there until March 2005 exclusively for their farm team Chicago Wolves in the AHL. Then he was loaned to the league rivals Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins until the end of the season.

In the summer of 2005 Rossiter did not get a follow-up contract with the Thrashers and so he dared to go to other European countries, where he spent the greeting part of the 200/06 season with Kalevan Pallo from Kuopio in the Finnish SM-liiga . Up until February 2006 he had seven scorer points in 35 missions. He then moved to the Italian Serie A1 , where he ended the season with Asiago Hockey . After a one-year interlude in Europe, the 26-year-old returned to his Canadian homeland and retired from active sport early on.

As a result, Rossiter pursued a new professional activity and became a real estate agent . He paused ice hockey for a year and was then active in the amateur leagues Chinook Hockey League and North Peace Hockey League for the Stony Plain Eagles and Falher Pirates until 2017 . He won the league championship with the Eagles in 2008 and played with them for the Allan Cup in 2012 .
