A Fil-Am player thrives in his first NHL game

On October 10, 2022, Thursday, I was watching an NHL (National Hockey League) game. It was the Toronto Maple Leafs facing against the undefeated Dallas Stars with only four games into the season. It was a tight game as a matter of fact the game went to overtime. The Leafs brought up three players from the minors due to injuries and lackluster effort from their regulars. One of them was a player named Nicholas Robertson who is trying to secure himself a roster spot for the 2022-23 season. His older brother, Jason plays for Dallas Stars.

Nicholas Robertson scored two goals including the OT winner in his season debut, as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Dallas Stars 3-2 in overtime. Nick Robertson was entrapped in the minor leagues although it was no fault of his own. Now, he’s an overtime hero for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Hopefully Nicholas stays to a regular spot with his team, but rumors spread he is now groomed to be traded while his value is worth mentioning. Good luck.

Nicholas Robertson is a Fil-Am (Filipino-American) and this is his bio (Source from Wikipedia): He was born on September 11, 2001, in Arcadia, California, to parents Hugh and Mercedes. His mother was born in Manila, Philippines, and moved to North America as a child where she would meet her Michigan-born husband. Nicholas began playing minor hockey while living in Southern California before moving to Michigan at eight years old for better hockey opportunities.
