Winning the Robertson Cup with this group is an experience that will last a lifetime and I wish nothing but the best to the entire organization moving forward” stated Testa-Basi.
“We are so proud of Rocco on announcing his commitment to Connecticut College” stated Titans head coach and general manager Craig Doremus. “Rocco is an extremely mature young man who knew what his goal was in hockey and in life. Rocco made huge contributions to our team throughout the season showing his true value in his ability to play and contribute in a number of different roles. His work ethic, passion and tenacity were key elements to our forward group. His ability to battle back and through a severe ankle injury late in the year helped us battle through the playoffs and get to the finals. Connecticut College is getting a player who is ready to step in and play a significant role on day one. We wish Rocco and his family all the best and we look forward to following his college hockey career” concluded Doremus.
