Rossman was one of 16 student-athletes chosen from District 8, which included student-athletes from the district's wrestling, swimming and diving, tennis, golf, lacrosse and water polo teams. 

Rossman was a three-time All-American for the Stags over his career, earning first-team honors once and second-team honors twice. He was a first-team All-SCIAC selection three years in a row as well, while scoring 160 goals in his four-year career and added 78 assists for 238 points.
