Andre Gasseau is often a one-man wrecking crew out on the frozen sheet.
The 20-year-old forward already has a pro-ready frame at 6-foot-4 and 211 pounds, and makes good use of it when driving into Grade-A ice and wreaking havoc on the forecheck.
But in the ring, Gasseau is no stranger to being pinned, thrown about and outright bested by opponents either well below his weight class — or far above him in years.
Such a result isn’t an indictment on Gasseau’s skill after years of training in both Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu.
Rather, it’s a routinely reinforced lesson in mental fortitude, patience, and humility that Gasseau believes has helped him develop into one of the Bruins’ most promising prospects.
