It also goes against one of his sponsors. The Canadians’ team leader is Andre Tourigny, Rossi’s coach at the Ottawa 67’s in the Canadian Junior League from 2018 to 2020. “He’s a great guy. “It’s important for him that you feel comfortable as a player, everyone loves playing for him,” said Rossi, who also appreciates Tourigny’s perfectionism and clarity. “There have been games where I scored four points and, as a young player, I thought with satisfaction: great! He said great, but these are the areas you still need to improve. That helped me a lot to never lose focus and to get better. The fact that he was a coach there was a very big reason why I went to Canada,” Rossi explained.
