UNB was a finalist at the University Cup.

  Signed into the New York Islanders system, Rob split 2008-09 evenly between the AHL’s Bridgeport Sound Tigers and the ECHL’s Utah Grizzlies. Despite playing just 38 games for the Grizzlies, Hennigar led the team in points with 59. This past season, he wore the ‘A’ for the ECHL’s Victoria Salmon Kings and led the team with 63 points in 61 games.
