When senior goaltender Jack Robinson began his time at San Jose State University, the longtime roller hockey player was disheartened to find that the university was no longer fielding a team.

 

Though the school had been a member of the National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association intermittently since the 2003-2004 season, the Spartans had been out of the league for two years at the time of Robinson’s arrival. The goaltender – who had previously backstopped West Valley College for two years – began a grassroots campaign to bring collegiate roller hockey back to San Jose, a city whose ties to the sport run deep thanks to the acclaimed Silver Creek Sportsplex.

 

The fact that we didn’t have a team was a little bit heartbreaking for me when I started going here,” said Robinson. “Especially since San Jose has been such a big hub for roller hockey for a long time.”
