Jason Robertson's story

Raised in a family of Kings fans, Jason Robertson first laced up skates in Southern California and moved with his family to Northville, Michigan at age ten to chase better hockey opportunities. He developed in Michigan minor programs and had a season in the Greater Toronto Hockey League before being taken into major junior hockey.

Kingston drafted him in 2015 and Robertson made the Frontenacs' roster as a 16-year-old. He stood out early, leading rookies on the club with 18 goals and then following with back-to-back 40-goal campaigns, a feat not seen in Kingston since Mike Zigomanis. Midway through 2018–19 he was traded to the Niagara IceDogs, where he finished the season with 48 goals and 117 points in 62 games to claim the Eddie Powers Trophy and the CHL Top Scorer Award.

After signing a three-year entry-level contract with Dallas, Robertson began pro life in the AHL with Texas but made his NHL debut on February 13, 2020, recording an assist in his first game. He broke into Dallas's lineup in 2020–21 and posted 17 goals and 28 assists in 51 games, earning a spot on the NHL All-Rookie Team and finishing second in Calder Trophy voting.

Robertson's scoring escalated in 2021–22: he tallied 41 goals and 79 points and became the first Stars player to score hat-tricks in consecutive games. He signed a four-year deal with Dallas on October 5, 2022, made the opening-night roster for 2022–23 and was selected to the 2023 NHL All-Star Game after reaching the 100-point mark for the season.

Internationally, Robertson represented the United States at the 2019 World Junior Championship, posting one goal and seven points in seven games as the U.S. took silver. On the ice he is defined by goal-scoring instincts, a quick release and a knack for creating offence by consistently generating shots and chances in the offensive zone.
