Coming across the pond from Scotland to live in Newfoundland presented a unique challenge for Robert Black, however the young Scot has adapted incredibly well to life in the SMJHL. The Newfoundland Berserkers selected Black at the top of the 3rd round and he has quickly settled in to life as Berserker. Black's teammates on the Berserkers have been incredibly welcoming, enabling him to quickly become accustomed to the pressures and demands of playing hockey at a higher level. Black has found time on a line with fellow rookie and Brit Robert E. O. Speedwagon and the two have clicked well to start their careers. Black has experienced limited playing time so far but has delivered in the time he has had, contributing offensively at a level beyond what was expected of him coming in to the season. Black has settled incredibly well in Newfoundland which is sure to lead to a very successful career in the SMJHL.
