Petro penned an emotional tribute to Cosmo on The Players' Tribune, titled, 'There's a Place You Can Go' where he reminisced about his friend saying,

"It was the first time that I experienced a sudden loss like that. It really shaped my life and who I am as a person. It was my first lesson in just how short life can be. My buddy was gone, and I got to go on being a kid. It was hard to wrap my mind around."

Cosmo's death pushed Alex further into hockey as the game offered an escape from the loss. In the article, he admitted saying,

"I’ve experienced quite a lot of loss in my life, but the one thing that I’m really grateful for is that the game of hockey gives me an escape. It gives me an opportunity to get away from my thoughts for a few hours a day and just concentrate on a game."
