Robert Raymond Robins (born October 17, 1981) is a retired American professional ice hockey forward who competed in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Boston Bruins.
Playing career
Robins completed four seasons of Division 1 collegiate hockey at the University of Massachusetts Lowell before inking an NHL deal with the Ottawa Senators in 2006. He spent two years playing for their AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, and also appeared in the ECHL with the Elmira Jackals. Additionally, he had brief assignments with several AHL clubs, including the Rochester Americans, Albany River Rats, and Syracuse Crunch.
In 2008, Robins transitioned to European hockey by signing with the Belfast Giants in the UK's Elite Ice Hockey League. For the 2009–10 campaign, he initially agreed to terms with Denmark's Rødovre Mighty Bulls of the AL-Bank Ligaen; however, financial complications led to the contract's cancellation. Subsequently, he joined HK Acroni Jesenice competing in the Austrian Hockey League to conclude that season.
Robins returned stateside for the 2010–11 season, joining the Bakersfield Condors in the ECHL. In September 2011, he was traded to the Chicago Express and later loaned out to AHL teams Abbotsford Heat and Providence Bruins. He secured a contract with Boston for the remainder of the 2011–12 NHL season.
For 2012–13, Robins signed an AHL deal with Providence Bruins and on July 5, 2013, agreed to a two-year, two-way NHL contract with Boston. During the 2014–15 season, he made his NHL debut on October 8, 2014, facing off against the Philadelphia Flyers, where he also engaged in his first NHL fight. After three appearances, he was placed on waivers and reassigned back to Providence.
Robins announced his retirement on July 9, 2015, citing concussion-related health concerns.
