During his time with the Ottawa Wizards, Robin helped them achieve amazing things:

This included the Eastern Conference title, the Rogers Cup (the CPSL Championship), and the Open Canada Cup again. Robin even scored the winning goal in the CPSL Championship final, helping his team win 2-0.
- In 2003, Robin helped the Wizards have an undefeated season. They won their third Eastern Conference title in a row.
