(Peterborough, ON) - The Ontario Hockey League announced today that Petes rookie defenceman Carson Cameron has been named the East Division Academic Player of the Month for December.
Cameron is currently holding an "A" average in three grade 11 university-level courses, including an 81 percent average in Physics, a 78 percent average in Functions, and an 85 percent average in Fitness Leadership at Thomas A. Stewart Secondary School.
"Carson is a responsible, conscientious student. He is currently enrolled in three academic classes with an 81% average," said Petes Academic Advisor Shannon Fife. "Carson was able to maintain his studies while playing for the U17 World Juniors for Canada and continues to hold himself to a high standard."
"Carson has done a good job transitioning into the OHL both on and off the ice," added Petes General Manager Mike Oke. "Despite moving away from home, attending a new school, and the demands of a busy hockey schedule, Carson continues to maintain strong grades."

The 6-foot, 171Ib. blueliner was Peterborough's first round (13th overall) pick in the 2023 OHL Priority Selection from the Central Ontario Wolves U16 program. Cameron was selected to represent Canada White at the 2023 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in November, bringing home a gold medal.
