Rockie Zinger On Bringing In Landon Robin by BrendenUllrich


---------

The Kindersley Klippers organization announced today that they acquired the rights to Landon Robin from Notre Dame in exchange for the rights to Dillon Schwartzenberger. Robin is a 1994 born forward who’s played the last two seasons’ with the Beardy’s Blackhawks in the SMAAAHL.


In two years with the Blackhawks, Robin managed to score a total of 43 regular season points in 78 games and added 5 more points in 9 playoff contests. Even more impressive was that the 5’11’ forward managed to score at just barely under a point a game clip as a second year midget in the always-impressive AAA Midget loop.

“We feel as an organization that after watching Landon at the Mac’s Tourney and throughout the winter that there is no doubt in our minds that he is ready to take the next step in his development as a player and really challenge himself to become an even better player and that’s why he’s been on our radar for sometime now as a player that we’d like to acquire.” Comments Klippers Coach Rockie Zinger.

Schwartzenberger who is a 1993 born forward, is also no slouch when it comes to hockey as he finished third in scoring on his AAA Midget team, the Saskatoon Blazers, in scoring this season with 27 points in 33 games.

The Kindersley Klippers would like to wish Dillon the best of luck in his future endeavors while at the same time extend a warm welcome to Landon and his entire family to the Klippers organization.

  1. This is a great acquistion for the Klippers, I've watched Landon for the past couple years playing at Beardy's. He is a very classy player, great hands and sees the ice well and just a great kid to boot!
