Jamestown (CSi-UJ) University of Jamestown head coach Dean Stork announces the signing of forwards Bryan Kromm and Destin Robinson. Both are currently playing for the English River Miners of the Superior International Junior Hockey League and will join the Jimmies for the 2016-17 season.
Kromm, who is from Penticton, British Columbia, has scored one goal and nine assists in 45 games this season.
Stork says, “Bryan Kromm is a relentless worker on and off the ice. He possesses extraordinary character and a very high hockey IQ which is revealed every time he touches the ice. He plays with desperation and is willing to sacrifice his body to help his team win hockey games. A strong power forward up and down the wing who makes opponents hurt. He captained the English River Miners this year due to his courageous leadership skills on the ice and in the locker room. He is the son of Richard Kromm who played several years in the NHL. The University of Jamestown Jimmies hockey team is very pleased to welcome Bryan Kromm to the family.”
Robinson, who is from Ponoka, Alberta, has three goals and five assists in 46 games played this season.
Stork adds, “Destin Robinson is another outstanding person. Character is a very important trait in order to be a successful hockey team and that’s the #1 key I look for when recruiting hockey players, and this individual is full of it. He is a smooth skating centerman that can really skate and will definitely increase our team speed. He is a smart player with outstanding hockey sense and will be an excellent addition to our penalty kill units. Destin has a strong stick in the faceoff circle which will help our team possess a lot of pucks and that is key to winning hockey games. The University of Jamestown Jimmies hockey team is very pleased to welcome Destin Robinson to the family.”
