Info

Jason Robertson’s route to the Kingston Frontenacs might be the longest of the non-European import players. Born in Northville, Michigan, he was raised in California before moving to Toronto. He was selected by the Frontenacs in the fourth round of the 2015 OHL Priority Selection after a midget season with the Don Mills Flyers that saw him record 61 points–28 goals and 33 assists–in 62 games. So far, in his rookie season with the Kingston Frontenacs, Robertson has an impressive 28 points–16 goals and 12 assists–good for 14th among OHL rookies. We caught up to him after practice at Rogers K-Rock Centre. GameDay: What’s it like being a rookie in the OHL? Jason robertson: It’s a lot different from minor hockey. The players are older and faster, and you have to adapt to it. But it’s also really fun and a lot to take in. GameDay: You’re a 16 year old, still juggling school on top of a 68 game regular season. What’s a typical day like? Jason robertson: I get up at 7:30 a.m., have breakfast and head to school from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and then head to the rink for practice. After the onice practice, I head into the workout room and put in some time on the bike, stretch, rollout, and then head home around 5:00 p.m. to have supper and relax or hang out with the boys. GameDay: As a Northville, Michigan native, you’re a few hours from your family here in Kingston. What’s been the biggest adjustment in being away from home? Jason robertson: Last year I lived with my mom and my brother in Toronto, which is only four hours from my home in Michigan, so I’ve had some experience with not seeing my family every day. The toughest things is not seeing my parents, my little brother, and my little sister and having them to play around with and joke with. Your family knows your personality better than anyone, and not being with them is probably the toughest thing. GameDay: A very special day for you was December 12, 2015. In the first half of your rookie season, with some of the veteran players missing from the bench due to injury or tournaments, you scored a hattrick on home ice against the Soo Greyhounds. Tell us about what that was like? Jason robertson: It was wild. It was a really good experience. You never forget your first OHL hat-trick, that’s for sure. I was excited, the boys were excited for me. I somehow ended up with a red tophat on after that game, I think from one of the mascots, which made it a really fun experience. GameDay: The Frontenacs are on track for a pretty amazing regular season. What’s the feelign like in the dressing room? Jason robertson: Our morale is pretty high because we know we’re a team that can win. We’re built to win. KF
