He was the biggest star on the Edmonton Oil Kings last season, at least in terms of undrafted players, and on Saturday, defenceman Matthew Robertson was selected by the New York Rangers in the second round of the 2019 NHL Draft.
The Rangers picked the Sherwood Park hockey player 49th overall.
Robertson, who at six-foot-four and 201 pounds has a towering presence on the blue-line, helped the Oil Kings reach the Western Hockey League Eastern Conference Final before losing to the Prince Albert Raiders, the team that went on to capture the WHL championship.
