Playing career

As a youth, Roussel played in the 1983 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Laval, Quebec.[1]

Roussel was selected in the third round of the 1988 NHL Entry Draft, 63rd overall, by the Philadelphia Flyers and made his NHL debut during the 1991–92 season.[citation needed] He would remain with the Flyers organization for another three seasons, serving as the Flyers' starting goalie in the 1993–94 season. He was traded to the Winnipeg Jets in 1996, but soon re-signed with the Flyers.[citation needed]

Roussel had a brief spell in Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga with the Starbulls Rosenheim in the 1997–98 season. His NHL rights were traded to the Nashville Predators and then the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. After three seasons with the Ducks, he moved to the Edmonton Oilers for a brief spell.[citation needed]

He played five games in the Quebec Semi-Pro Hockey League with the Lasalle Rapides before returning to Germany, signing with the Frankfurt Lions before retiring in 2003.[citation needed]

He is now a private goalie trainer through his company, Succès hockey Dominic Roussel.[citation needed]
