“We are very pleased to have come to terms with Boone, who has been an integral part of our team for the past eight seasons, on this extension,” said General Manager and Alternate Governor Jarmo Kekalainen . “From the day he was drafted in 2011, Boone has been a consummate professional with his work ethic, character and leadership.  He is an important part of our hockey club and ensuring he remains a Blue Jacket for years to come was a priority for us this summer.”

Robinson signed a two-year, entry-level contract with Columbus in March 2018 making his debut with the team in April.

He has registered 15 goals and 15 assists 120 games with the Blue Jackets. He set career highs in goals, assists, points, shots and games played in 2020-21.
