Quotes

 

he following quotes are from players in the tournament, observers and media sources running articles about the Robin tournament.

"I saw the tournament listed in the American Hockey Magazine and I was aware that the talent in this area is far better then what my players have seen before. I think that's invaluable for my players to go against teams with superior skills and have fun doing it"... Bob LeDoax  Staten Island Hawks, New York

 

"The Facilities here are excellent and the tournament is the most organized, most well run I've ever been associated with… we will definitely be back every year…. Player from the Wisconsin Tornados

 

"There are no large crowds, not much cheering, and no waving flags…. That kind of glory is in the past for this group of hockey players. Its all for the LOVE OF THE GAME!!!" Steve Web (sports writer for the PB newspaper)

 

"The locker room stories at the Robin are more fun then the hockey"….. Bruce McIntosh 1972 US Olympic Team

 

"The draw of senior hockey is the game itself and the fun…. It’s a chance to be around a hockey community. I guess that’s why most of us are out here"… Bill Fedoryk Local Hockey Legend and Minnesota North Star Farm

 

"Records? Wins or Losses? This tournament is pretty informal. That’s not the objective!! Having fun is pretty much the bottom line"…. Norm Fitch (founder of the Robin Tourney)

 

"We've all stayed close through out the years. I don't see that strong bond in other sports. Maybe it is there but it's certainly not as visible as with the hockey players" … Scott Lecey Rochester Hockey Great and Euro- player.

"The Robin is always a great time, you guys always put on a great tourney" … Denny "Metro Merchants"

"The Robin is the best tournament I have been too... and we go to many tournaments!" --- Patrick McNeilus (Ice Clams Team Manager)

"“We 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 Skarlis (Waterloo Hockey, Iowa)

  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
