C Marco Rossi - Ottawa 67’s, OHL (2020 Draft)

[alko]

Can us someone tell more about his kid? He is only 13, but he was member of last Austria U17 team. And he scored goal to Slovak net in last Red Bull Hockey U16 Rookies Cup.

Last season he played 9 games in U17 Austria league (4+6).

Is he the new "Thomas Vanek"?

 

[JJTT]

Isn't he playing in Swizerland, not Austria?

Team is from Switzerland, Rossi is from Austria

and it looks like he had 10 points in 9 games for the U17 while being only 13 years old.

 

[Sweetpotato]

Only 5'4, too small to play in the NHL, he'll never see NHL ice

I saw him and he just played with an incredible hockey sense.
He was the youngest in the tournament( russia,czech,slovak) and was certainly one of the top forwards!
His size can not be right and he's a late-born.
Up to 18 years can change a lot especially the size.

tbf, those 10 points in 9 games were in Top Novizen, not Elite. Nevertheless, that's pretty impressive for a player at that age.

Definitely not Vanek territory, but still impressive.

 

[TravisR81]

Already a club legend at Genoa

He will be better than that McDavid guy.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Always happy to see talent coming from non-traditional hockey countries

 

[Kibe]

So any idea will he play top novizen or elite novizen this year? How big is the gap between the leagues?

The difference in the Elite are the top 4 teams.
The last 4 Teams Elite is about the strength of the Novizen Top 4 top.
Novizen Top Küsnacht had in recent years with the best 4 teams!
Compared Nico Hischier played at the same age in the Novizen Top and helped in a lot in the development.

I remember chapin landvogt had an article about him less than a year ago.

Who?

Some bust the Oilers drafted. Don't think he even plays any more......

Lool, nice

He's up to 5'7" now, and 14 years old so still growing, his dad topped out just over 5'10" though so he's not going to be Blake Wheeler size...scored his first goal (1 goals in 2 games) in the Elite Novizen, which is the top tier U17. Austria has a whole feeder system through the Swiss leagues...

Wonder what development path he'll choose. If I remember correctly, Vanek came over at around 13 or 14 to play on travel teams. Don't want to bash smaller countries leagues, but I really hope for top talent to come to the CHL via import draft or move to Sweden like Kopitar did. Still a bit away from that considering even if he was a national his OHL class isn't til next year.

Even though we've seen what an elite prospect can do in the Swiss league this year, I also want Nico Hischier to come over, preferably the O or the W, but seems Halifax has their eyes on him.

That's generally the plan, though since the partnership has only been in place a few years and in a few clubs the generation above him is kinda the pilot so there's still some uncertainty as to what he will choose to do. The dream of every Austrian kid in general though is to come to the states, Dominic Zwerger has probably been the most successful Austrian to come from the Swiss system.

According to sources wishes to play in North America.

Sounds like he could be a good 1, be interesting to see how he develops.

 

[Puck1967]

Marco Rossi is the top scorer in Switzerland Novizen Elite U17!
15 Games 16 Goals 11 Assist!
With 16 goals, he scored the most goals in the league!

That must be good, since the league has the word elite in it!

Seriously, haven´t seen him play, maybe he is the real deal, would like to see him against good competition to see where he stands. Hopefully he´s good since i want the hockey-world to grow, i cheer automatically for all non-top nation players coming up.
