Bossy grew up in Montreal with his parents Dorothy and Borden, as well as his nine siblings. His father kept an ice rink in the backyard of their apartment building. He began his hockey career at 15 when he joined the junior team Laval National.
Ice Hockey Career

In 1978, he scored his first hat-trick in a match against the Washington Capitals. A few days later, he broke the previous rookie record of goals scored in a season and held that title until 1993. Bossy went on to have a successful career with the Islanders until he was forced to retire due to an injury. In 2014, he became a hockey analyst, and a year later joined TVA Sports as a commentator.
