Playing career

Robertson played four seasons of NCAA Division I hockey with the Brown Bears men's ice hockey team where his outstanding play was recognized when he was named to the 2010–11 ECAC Hockey All-Rookie Team in his freshman year, [1] and was named to the 2013–14 All-Ivy League First Team in his senior year. [2]

On March 20, 2014, the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League (NHL) signed Robertson as a free agent to a two-year, entry-level contract, [3] and he was immediately assigned to play with the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL. [4]

Prior to the 2015–16 season, on September 11, 2015, he was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks along with prospect Jake Massie and a 2017 fifth-round pick for forwards Kris Versteeg and Joakim Nordstrom, as well as a 2017 third-round pick. Robertson struggled to adapt with the Rockford IceHogs, posting 5 points in 37 games before on February 29, 2016, he was returned to the Hurricanes in a trade for goaltender Drew MacIntyre. [5]

At the conclusion of his contract with the Hurricanes after the 2017–18 season, Robertson was not tendered a qualifying offer to become a free agent. Robertson opted to continue his tenure with the Checkers in returning for his sixth season with the club in securing a one-year AHL contract on July 12, 2018. [6]

After helping the Checkers capture the Calder Cup in his sixth season with the club in 2018–19, Robertson left North America as a free agent, agreeing to his first European contract on a one-year deal with Italian outfit, HC Bolzano of the EBEL, on July 5, 2019. [7]
