The Toronto-born forward was a fourth-round selection, 123rd overall, by the Kraken in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. Robertson was an assistant captain for the Petes this season, scoring 36 goals and 54 assists in 68 games. He became the first Pete since 2002-03 to record 90 points in a season. He added another 22 points in 23 postseason games to lead the Petes to their 2023 OHL Championship. Robertson scored a goal and two assists during the team’s 2023 Memorial Cup run.
“On behalf of the Petes, I’d like to congratulate Tucker on signing his first NHL contract,” said Michael Oke, Petes general manager. “Over the past couple of years, Tucker has proven himself to be one of the top players in the Ontario Hockey League and we’re happy to see him be rewarded for his hard work.”
Robertson was awarded the Petes Executive Trophy as the team’s MVP for a second time on March 28. He won it in 2021-22, after a breakout season with 41 goals and 40 assists in 68 games.
