Shawn Grobowsky has been playing with the Golden Rockets since last season.
Coming from Okotoks, Alberta, he chose to come to Golden because his brother played with the team the year before he started. A love of hockey runs in his family, and he began playing when he was seven years old.
One of his fondest memories is winning in the South Central Alberta Hockey League with his bantam AA team.
At every game and practice, Grobowsky puts in hard work and dedication, and tries to lead by example on and off the ice. He wants to continue moving forward with his hockey career, and hopes to be a “go-to guy” for his team in Golden.
This week, he buried the winning goal of the night in double overtime at the Rockets Halloween howley Columbia Valley grudge match against their rivals, the Columbia Valley Rockies, bringing the team to a 4-3 victory.
Last year, Grobowsky scored nine goals for the Golden Rockets, and 10 assists. This year, he has played 15 games so far, scoring one goal and three assists.
