A quick-footed and athletic skater, Robinson comes to Ohio State with nine years of youth hockey experience. Robinson started her career within the Dayton Bombers youth organization, playing both Squirt and Peewee on boy’s teams. She graduated from there to the rosters of the U19 Cincinnati Cyclones and the U19 Nashville Southern Flyers. Robinson’s U19 Nashville Southern Flyers were winners of their division of the 2007 Connecticut Polar Bear Tournament. Returning Buckeye sophomore defenseman Traci Artist and her Prince William, VA Panthers won the same Polar Bear division in 2006. She also competed in the USA Hockey MidAm district camps for U16’s and U19’s.

Of Robinson, Coach Cunningham says the following, “We’re hoping Amanda is going to be another recruiting ‘sleeper’ for which our program is becoming known, players like Rachel Walters and 2007 CCWHA MVP Hannah White. Those two were not sought-after recruits by NCAA or ACHA teams coming out of high school and yet each has gone on to have stellar Ohio State careers. All it takes is a committed player, someone with untapped athletic talent and a real motivation to work hard. Robinson could be that type of player.”
