(Peterborough, ON) - The Peterborough Petes, in association with the Canadian Cancer Society Peterborough & District Community Office, are excited to announce that a record-breaking $97,035 was raised in the seventh annual Pink in the Rink campaign on Saturday night.

The previous campaign record was $92,000 set in 2013. Before, during and after this year's game, the Petes and Canadian Cancer Society volunteers and staff coordinated several fundraising initiatives, with some of the results as follows:

- Chuck-a-Ball: $1,600

- Silent Auction: $5,825

- Game-worn jersey live auction: $17,465 (Eric Cornel's jersey was the highest seller at $1,100)

- Bucket pass: $4,500

- Honourary Co-Chair fundraiser: $30,545

- T-Shirt & scarf sales: $20,200

The 2016 Pink in the Rink campaign featured seven honourary co-chairmen representing seven decades of Peterborough Petes hockey, including Pat Casey (1956-59), Wayne Boddy (1957-61), Greg Theberge (1976-79), Jody Hull (1985-88), Steve Webb (1993-95), Jeff MacDougald (2002-05), and Dylan Wells (2014-present). Preceding the Petes' game against the Ottawa 67's, the alumni chairmen joined Dave Czarnik and Donna Annett for the ceremonial puck drop.

The Petes are off until next Thursday, February 11 when the arch rival Oshawa Generals come to town. Tickets are still available at the PMC Collins Barrow Box Office online, in person, or by phoning (705) 743-3561.
