Matthew Robertazzi is a dynamic Attackman and Midfielder from Arthur L. Johnson High School and a standout player for Leading Edge. Known for his exceptional speed and footwork, Matthew thrives under pressure. His speed and agility are second to none, allowing him to navigate through tight spaces with ease. A constant threat from X, Matthew is highly effective at dodging and finishing on the crease, demonstrating excellent stick skills and a sharp, accurate shot. His athleticism is off the charts, and he uses his quickness and shiftiness to leave defenders in the dust. Matthew also has a very powerful outside shot, especially with his right hand, and he has a deadly on-the-run shot that keeps goalies on edge. Matthew’s combination of speed, skill, and athleticism makes him an explosive and versatile threat in any offensive set.

Last season, Arthur L. Johnson displayed a solid 1-2 punch at attack, with graduated senior Rob Tyra (Merrimack) totaling 158 points, and Robertazzi finishing with 40 goals and 37 assists. The Leading Edge product is a tough and gritty player who is almost always at a size disadvantage compared to his matchup, but his speed, skill and athleticism make up for it. He is a quick and shifty dodger who plays smart, not forcing shots or passes. When he receives a pass from the righty wing spot, he has shown the ability to utilize the hitch move effectively to get upfield for a high percentage look or sweep across the field with his head up. Because of his size, he takes a beating but he has the strength to absorb contact on his way to the net or when cutting from the crease for a quick shot.
