Chicago Blackhawks forwards Buddy Robinson and Mike Hardman found different paths from Rockford to Chicago, but they made the trip together, and Hardman is glad Robinson has been there for the journey.
For Buddy Robinson, it took the perseverance of a journeyman and a bit of good timing.
Robinson embodies one of the reasons the Hawks have been able to plug in player after player after every injury or trade and keep, well, plugging. Despite spending most of his career in the AHL, he has the experience of four NHL teams. And he knows the other IceHogs whose call-ups preceded him, such as Lukas Reichel, Brett Seney and Cole Guttman.
Hawks coach Luke Richardson has known Robinson since he coached him on the AHL Binghamton Senators for four seasons. “Is he an everyday NHL player? I hope he thinks he is and he keeps wanting to prove that. That’s why it’s a huge value to have him here, just to help guys like Mike keep that dream going, keep pushing, keep doing the right things.”
