Career
Desrosiers played in his junior first time from 1997 to 1999 in Rimouski Quebec Major Junior Océanic in the Hockey League. They had selected him in the QMJHL Entry Draft in 1997 in the fourth round at 52 out. After two years there, where he had increased his point yield of 24 in his first season to 68 in his second season, joined the strikers in the league to the Drummondville Voltigeurs, where he played two more years.
Since Desrosiers had not been selected in the NHL Entry Draft, he moved in 2001 to France, where he hired at the Étoile Noire de Strasbourg in the second-class Division 1. There he was in his first professional season equal top scorer of the team and the third best in the league. With the Slovak Miroslav PAŽAK he shared the title of top scorer of the season. The performance of 22 -year-old rookie made the teams in Ligue Magnus attention to him and so he spent the following two years on the Diables Noirs de Tours. The conversion to the higher division fell Desrosiers not easy and only the change to league rivals Diables Rouges de Briançon for season 2004 /05 brought improvement. The attacker was top scorer in the league and was first appointed to the All- Star team in the league.
His achievements eventually led to the striker of the Dragons de Rouen was committed. Since joining Desrosiers won four championships, twice the Coupe de la Ligue and the Coupe de France once each, the Trophée des Champions and the IIHF Continental Cup. Personally, he was appointed to another five times All-Star team in the league, the Trophée Albert Hassler received together with Baptiste Amar and finished the season as the best template once each donor the main round, as well as leading scorer and top scorer in the play-offs.
Internationally
Desrosiers first played in 2005 for the French national team. At the World Championship Division I 2005 they finished the tournament in second place behind Italy, just behind Germany in 2006. Only at the World Championship Division I 2007 the French succeeded in promotion to the top division. There, the French-Canadians took part in the World Championships in 2008 and 2011.
Personally Desrosiers was honored for the best strikers in Group B at the World Championship Division I in 2005.
