Nick Robertson is back in the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup and tonight, he will get to play against his brother Jason, who has been a solid player for the Dallas Stars.
It is a beautiful thing when multiple players from the same family make their way into the National Hockey League.
Overall, there are many instances of this throughout the history of hockey and the NHL in general.
We are reminded of the three Subban brothers who all made the NHL, albeit in many different capacities.
As for Jason and Nick Robertson, their family must now decide who to cheer for as the Toronto Maple Leafs and Dallas Stars both look to win the game.
According to Sportsnet reporter Luke Fox, their mom has devised a plan where she will be able to support both Jason and Nick, all at the same time.
The mothers of Steph Curry and Seth Curry as well as Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce have also pulled off things like this before.
Overall, it just goes to show that Mrs. Robertson is someone who loves and cares for her two boys very much.
This game is an important one for both of these teams as both are seen as potential Stanley Cup contenders. That said, each Robertson will be looking to have the game of their life, not just for the benefit of their team, but familial bragging rights.
