The final piece of national-championship confetti had yet to hit the ground when Bobby Brink got the call that he was going to sign with the Flyers the next day. What followed was a whirlwind adventure for Brink and his family.
As Saturday turned into Sunday and the Denver Pioneers’ celebration continued, Andy and Holly Brink found out their son Bobby’s hockey career would be continuing, too.
“The timing was so tight,” Andy said. “I didn’t want to talk to him about it because Denver was playing its biggest games of the year. He’s really good about staying in the moment and kind of being where his feet are at. And so if he was having those conversations, they surely weren’t happening with me.”
“There was never a plan,” Andy said. “The focus was just be the best version of yourself that you can be, and if it’s good enough to move on, it is.” “I guess we were just kind of reserved to the fact that our plans might change and we’re gonna have to roll with the punches,” Andy said. “And if they did have to change for him to play more hockey, that was a pretty good thing.”
Andy and Flyers defenseman Cam York, who played with Bobby when they were younger, said it will take Bobby a little while to warm up. In seats provided by the Flyers, the Brinks watched as Bobby took his rookie lap for warmups ahead of the game against the Capitals. Surrounded by opposing fans, they were quiet, but big smiles split their faces.
