Prior to his stint at Graceland, Robinson spent the 2010-11 season as the Assistant to the Sports Information Director at Davenport University in Grand Rapids, Mich. As a Panther, Robinson assisted the department with graphic design, social media and website initiatives, all while serving as the primary media contact for the institution’s American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division I men’s hockey program.

As a collegiate athlete, Robinson played for the men’s hockey program at Calvin College. In his four years on the team, Robinson earned a spot on the Michigan Collegiate Hockey Conference all-star team three times. While among the top 15 scoring leaders in program history, Robinson helped lead the team to three National Tournament berths while only missing one regular season contest during his career due to injury.
