He is currently playing with the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career
Robertson played four seasons of NCAA Division I hockey with the Brown Bears men's ice hockey team where his outstanding play was recognized when he was named to the 2010–11 ECAC Hockey All-Rookie Team in his freshman year,[1] and was named to the 2013–14 All-Ivy League First Team in his senior year.[2]
On March 20, 2014, the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League (NHL) signed Robertson as a free agent to a two-year, entry-level contract,[3] and he was immediately assigned to play with the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL.[4]
Prior to the 2015–16 season, on September 11, 2015, he was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks along with prospect Jake Massie and a 2017 fifth-round pick for forwards Kris Versteeg and Joakim Nordstrom, as well as a 2017 third-round pick. Robertson struggled to adapt with the Rockford IceHogs, posting 5 points in 37 games before on February 29, 2016, he was returned back to the Hurricanes in a trade for goaltender Drew MacIntyre.[5]
