He was drafted in the 8th round of the 2001 National Hockey League Entry Draft (255th overall) by the Dallas Stars.

Since graduating, he has played seven seasons in the ECHL and AHL. In the 2009-2010 season, Rosa led the Manitoba Moose in scoring with 55 points.
In 2010, he played with the Vancouver Canucks in the pre-season, but was reassigned to the Moose before the regular season began.
On July 20, 2011, Rosa, along with three other former Manitoba Moose players, signed with the soon to be named Saint John"s IceCaps. The franchise, which moved from Manitoba, is an affiliate of the Winnipeg Jets.
On June 21, 2013, after his first season abroad in Europe with the Espoo Blues of the Finnish Master of Science-liiga, Rosa signed a one-year contract in Germany with Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg of the DEL.
