Peterborough Petes News Release


(Peterborough, ON, July 21, 2014)- The Peterborough Petes are pleased to announce that defenceman Nelson Armstrong has committed to play for the Men's Hockey program at the University of Prince Edward Island in Charlottetown, PEI.

Born in Peterborough, Armstrong put together his best season in 2013-14 with 9 goals and 36 assists for 45 points with the Petes. He added four assists in the playoffs. Along with his strong offensive game, Armstrong is known for being very capable in his own end and prides himself on being a well-rounded player every night.

"I just try to compete every shift and do whatever I can to help the team win," said Armstrong who is 6'1, 205 lbs. "I take great pride in the offensive part of my game for sure but you have to be responsible in your own end first. I just want to be a solid, all-around player."

Armstrong played two major junior seasons with his hometown Petes, after starting his career with St. Lawrence University in the NCAA. He says he has remained committed to pursuing his education and determined the University of Prince Edward Island was a perfect fit for the next step in his journey. UPEI's roster also features former Petes forward Nick Czinder.

Armstrong will be enrolling in the Bachelor of Business Administration program at UPEI.
