The Peterborough Petes forward led the entire Canadian Hockey League with 55 goals in 46 games played. He also added 31 assists with 40 penalty minutes.
“I want to thank the CHL for awarding me the most sportsmanlike player of the year,” Robertson said in a release. “I just want to thank my organization the Peterborough Petes as well as the GM Mike Oke, head coach Rob Wilson, and my teammates. And finally I’d like to thank the fans in Peterborough for all of their support and making it an electrifying building every night. I hope everyone stays safe and healthy.”
The 18-year-old was selected in the second round, 53rd overall, of the 2019 NHL Draft by the Maple Leafs.
