Rob O'Gara (born July 6, 1993) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman. He is currently playing with the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL). O'Gara was selected by the Bruins in the 5th round (151st overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
Robert was born on Long Island, to parents Danielle Shorenstein and Trey Turner. Following two seasons at Milton Academy, O'Gara enrolled at Yale University to play NCAA Division I hockey with the Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey team. In his freshman season he helped the Bulldogs capture the 2012–13 NCAA Championship, the first national championship title for the team. The following season O'Gara was named to the NCAA All-Ivy League Second Team, and in his junior year his outstanding play was rewarded when he selected as ECAC Hockey's Best Defensive Defenseman and was named to the NCAA (East) First All-American Team.

On March 29, 2016, the Boston Bruins signed O'Gara to a two-year, entry-level contract beginning in the 2016–17 season. The Providence Bruins, AHL affiliate to Boston, signed him to an ATO (amateur try-out) for the reminder of the 2015–16 season.
