History
2006-07: Ross is perhaps the top prospect from a Regina Pats roster that, while young, probably underachieved this past season. The versatile native of Lethbridge, Alberta scored seven goals and added 24 assists in 70 games. He patrolled the Pats' blue line this season, often with Logan Pyett (DET), and also saw time at forward as the Pats searched for consistent offensive production early in the season.
2007-08: Got off to a great start with the Regina Pats. Played alongside Colten Teubert, which was considered one of, if not the toughest defensive pairs in the league. Got a wake-up call when he was traded to the Kamloops Blazers as the Pats looked to solidify their roster for the deep playoff run. Stepped right in with Kamloops and was instantly noticeable on the weaker squad. He helped the team maintain its playoff push. In 31 games for the Blazers, he was able to collect 19 points (5 goals, 14 assists). The team made the playoffs but they also made a quick exit, getting swept by the Tri-City Americans in the opening round.

Talent Analysis
He’s known as a smart two-way defenseman, with good playmaking ability. His offensive numbers aren’t quite there but his positioning and prowess on the ice surely make up for that. He's one the league feared open-ice hitters.
