Over the last four years, Cossa, recently rated the Red Wings number one prospect by Scott Wheeler of The Athletic, has played in the American Hockey League for the Grand Rapids Griffins. Through 123 regular season games played, he has a .911 save percentage, a 2.46 goals-against average, and eight shutouts. During the 2025-26 season, he recorded his best performance to date. He had a 2.33 goals-against average, a .915 save percentage, and five shutouts through 39 regular season contests. Cossa is driven to enter the Mammoth organization and bring his best effort every day.
“I’m just going to come to the rink every day and work my hardest and give the organization, and city everything I have,” Cossa shared. “(Be a) good teammate, day in and day out. Be supportive with my teammates there and I just want to win a lot of hockey games.”
Cossa enters an organization determined to take its next step as well. After Utah’s first postseason appearance in franchise history, in the team’s second season, the Mammoth are looking to make a run in the 2027 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Part of their success will rely on the hard work of Vejmelka and Cossa. However, the netminder is excited to grow with this talented group.
“Very, very skilled team,” Cossa said. “Younger group as well which is cool and kind of my age group, it’s a cool thing to kind of grow into for sure. Obviously we had a really good year last year and hopefully we continue to build on that this year.”
