Tucker Robertson came out a big winner at the Peterborough Petes regular season awards banquet that was held last night at The Venue.
The Toronto native walked away from the evening with four awards, including the Most Valuable Player which was voted on by his teammates.
Robertson also won the Mark Teevens Memorial Award for most assists, the Molson Cup for most three stars and the Bill Bennett/CKPT Memorial Award as the teams leading point getter. His 90 points this season was the first time a Petes player cracked the 90 point barrier since Eric Staal during the 2002-2003 season (Staal is currently playing in his 18th NHL season).
Each award meant a lot to Robertson but he says winning the MVP was extra special.
As one of the leaders on this year’s Petes squad, Robertson says it’s important to have the respect from your peers, adding that it’s always nice to win individual awards but the main goal for him is to win a championship.
