Victoria Shamrocks’ forward Rob Hellyer has been with the the team full-time for just over a week.
He flew into Victoria, at noon on a Friday, made it to his house at 2:30 p.m. and headed to his lacrosse game against the Nanaimo Timbermen at 4:30 p.m.
He moved here with his fiance and their one-year-old puppy and he said they are settling in nicely. “We’ve had a blast for the five days we’ve been here, so two months will be a lot of fun,” he said. They have been enjoying time off of practice and games getting acquainted with all Victoria has to offer.
Hellyer strives to constantly improve himself as a person and as a player, so to get to know him better outside of lacrosse, we asked him eight questions about what he reads, who he surrounds himself with and personal goals he sets for himself.
Hellyer played two games with Victoria in the beginning of June before he came to Victoria full-time, and the Shamrocks lost both games, but got a win under his belt with the team against Nanaimo.
His first win as a Shamrock came in overtime and the next night he scored three goals and had four assists in a loss against Coquitlam, but he feels like he’s starting to find his place with the team.
Hellyer had three assists in a win against Langley on Friday, July 6.
