Defenceman Darrin Robak has become the second player to commit to a post-secondary team from this past year's Cowichan Valley Capitals.
Just a week after captain Devin Gannon announced that he would be playing hockey and studying at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Robak accepted an offer in the same city to play with the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology Trojans. SAIT competes in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference, where they captured the silver medal in 2011/12.
"Darrin had a great time here with the team and it was fun watching him develop into the player he is now," said Capitals head coach and general manager Jim Ingram.
Other players from the 2011/12 Capitals who committed to colleges - Brett Knowles (Minnesota State-Mankato), Brayden Sherbinin (Quinnipiac) and Steven Iacobellis (Nebraska-Omaha) - earned their deals before joining the Caps.
