thehockeynews.comJason Robertson is of Filipino descent on his mother’s side and Scottish descent on his father’s side; his mother Mercedes was born in Manila, Philippines.

Some articles also mention Filipino heritage on the maternal side and highlight his role as a potential to inspire Asian and mixed-heritage players.
