The Providence folk hero retires after suffering post-concussion symptoms following his very first NHL game.
After playing just three games in the National Hockey League as a rookie at the age of 32, grinder, fighter, and Providence Bruin legend Bobby Robins has hung up his skates after suffering a blow to the head in his very first NHL game last October.
Mark Divver of the Providence Journal reported on the story, and the always-articulate Robins stated bluntly, "I'm a free agent in life."
Hockey is what I know. It’s what I do.
