Nick Robertson selected 53rd overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs

Brother of Jason Robertson of the Niagara Ice Dogs (second-round pick of the Stars in 2017), Nick scored 27 goals and 55 points in 53 games for the Petes this season to lead Peterborough forwards in point scoring before adding two points in five playoff appearances. He also turned heads at the Hlinka tournament, posting four goals in five games for Team USA.

A California resident, Robertson has been living with his brothers in the GTA this summer in order to train with Gary Roberts at his high-performance center. Highly skilled, quick and competitive, one area where Robertson needs to make strides is in his skating explosiveness — particularly important to develop with his size limitations.
