DENVER – If Flyin’ Ryan Lee has been known as the team’s “Quarterback” for some time now, regularly involved in a majority of the team’s scoring conversions, then the man they call “C-ROB” in Connor Robinson has been associated with stinging corner from afar courtesy of his nasty cannon of a step-down launcher.
Yet, when Colorado’s regular season slate concluded and things began to shift into offseason mode, No. 96 had more assists than goals for the third-straight season.
Which isn’t a knock on his goal-scoring totals by any means, as he technically outperformed his 18-goal effort and 55-point (18g, 37a) performance from a down 2023-24 session.
Concluding his 2024-25 campaign with 67 points (23g, 44a) to his name, he ranked third on the team in overall scoring, trailing a pair of shifty talents in Lee (95 points) and fellow lefty Will Malcom (81 points). And if you know anything about that pair of producers, they tend to like to have the ball in their stick more time than not.
However, Robinson trailed only Lee’s 59 helpers when it came to dishing out some help, now a new career-best feat for the New Westminster, B.C. native at the 44-assist mark. Now above 35 assists in three-straight seasons, he’s been viewed (and respected) by opposing defenders as both a finisher and creative passer as he continues to improve his game in Colorado.
Sharing turf time with the likes of Malcom and Eli McLaughlin for a majority of the season, it makes sense that he’s, in theory, the third look on that side of the floor. Add in a red-hot Connor Kelly, who began the season with a rapid goal-scoring pace, alongside company including Zed Williams and Ryan Lee and it truly makes Robinson’s continued production shine that much more.
Originally acquired by the Mammoth from the Saskatchewan Rush nearly five years ago now, he’s effectively put his slow start in Saskatoon in the rearview, stringing together four consecutive 55-plus-point campaigns. By any means necessary.
