Tucker Robertson Named Cogeco OHL Player of the Week
The Ontario Hockey League announced today that Petes forward and Seattle Kraken prospect, Tucker Robertson, has been named the Cogeco OHL Player of the Week. Tucker recorded one goal, four assists and five points in a pair of victories last week at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
Also given consideration for the award this week was Tucker’s new teammate and Vancouver Canucks prospect, Connor Lockhart, who leads all OHL players with six points (1-5–6) so far this season.
On Thursday, Robertson got the Petes’ season off to a hot start recording his 50th OHL goal, 100th career point and the shootout game winner in a first star performance as the Petes defeated the Erie Otters 5-4 in their home opener. He followed that up with a three-assist effort on Saturday as the Petes defeated the defending champion Hamilton Bulldogs 5-3 at the PMC.
When asked about the award, Tucker said: “It feels awesome. The team got off to a great start and I was very happy with my own start as well. Super happy to receive the award and that we got the two wins as well.”
A 19-year-old native of Toronto, Robertson was a fourth round (123rd overall) pick of the Seattle Kraken following 41 goals, 40 assists and 81 points in 68 games last season. The former fourth round (72nd overall) pick by the Petes in 2019 has registered 50 goals, 54 assists and 104 points in 125 career regular season games in maroon and white.
Tucker and the Petes will be back in action this week at the PMC on Thursday against the North Bay Battalion. Tickets for that game can be purchased here. Tickets are moving fast so act now to secure the best seats possible for Thursday night’s action.
