Player Profile –Quinton Robertson
Quinton Robertson’s hockey credentials
are impressive. Both his father and
grandfather have played important
roles at Hockey Canada and his dad
played NCAA hockey at the University
of Wisconsin – Eau Claire and won a
national championship coaching Bantam
AAA players in Colorado.
“It makes for lots of hockey,” admits
sheepishly the third generation of
Robertson to play a role in hockey in
Calgary.
But he’s had to make his own mark on
the game to keep up the family name.
After playing Midget AA last year, he
knew it would be an uphill battle to
make an AJHL squad this year.
Spring camps and summer camps came and
went, then Canucks Assistant Coach
Blake Cosgrove invited him to the
Canucks camp. He impressed and made
the team.
“There was a lot of adaptation from
Midget AA; the first couple of games I
had to get used to the speed, skill
and shiftiness. You have to move the
puck quicker at this level.”
After the initial adjustment, he
became more comfortable. Even though
he’s only 17, he has quite the
development plan.
“This year, I wanted to do my best,
work hard and make the most of it.
Next year, I want to get more
dominant. Then, I’d like to play
NCAA, I’ve wanted that since I was a
kid.”
This Robertson was born in Colorado
and spent his first few years in the
suburbs of Denver (only about five
minutes from where Nolan Carothers is
from, according to him). Both his
parents worked there and they only
moved to Calgary when his dad jumped
on a job opportunity.
One of the things he took from
Colorado (aside from his passion for
the Avalanche which he shares with
Carothers) is his love of the game.
The team his dad coach featured many
of the sons of Avalanche players which
meant he got to meet their dads and be
close to the action during the
Avalanche’s heyday.
He’s made his mark on the Canucks
lineup this year and in the dressing
room as well. He provides a certain
comic relief for his teammates and
they’ve incorporated him fully.
“It helps a lot to have fun, it makes
you more comfortable. It has
certainly made me feel part of team.”
As one of the younger players, he
still has a way to go to reach his
goals. But with his family’s support
and background, this Robertson still
has a lot of time to impact the game.
