are looking forward to this year more than any other year. It
might be the only fun thing we do anymore!!!! The Robin is a
lot more fun than a golf trip, which some of our lame friends have
resorted to. You guys do a great job!” Thanks, John

I
have to tell you that this tournament is a TOP SELF operation,
everything is very organized – all the games are on time – the refs
were great – our division was perfect with very close games. We have
been coming to the Robin since the beginning of time and this
tournament continues to be the best organized and most fun to
participate in. It is mind boggling how you put all these things
together (venders, teams, schedules, refs, off ice activities,
player benefits, volunteers and more) but yet keep the old Robin
attitude and tradition of having a good time. Very fun tournament
and we will definitely be back again and again. Thanks to the
volunteers the Robin is Great!! George Joyce – Floor Craft

We had such an
awesome time. Hockey didn't work out as planned!! We would hope
that you could pass on a thank you to the committee for inviting us
to play in the Robin. The guys expressed an interest in coming back
next year if you would have us.
Scott – Thunder Bay
Senators, CANADA
