Peardon, 18, has played 23 games this season for the Rebels and the Prince Albert Raiders. Over that span, the Outlook, SK product owns five points (1-4-5). Over his 133 games in his WHL career, the 6'0, 180-pound forward has collected 29 points (10-19-29). Peardon also earned the opportunity to represent Team Canada in the World U-17 Challenge in 2022. The veteran forward was the 13th selection of the WHL Prospect's Draft in 2021 by Prince Albert.
