The Ontario Hockey League is saddened by the loss of former Peterborough Petes captain Bob Schnurr who passed away last week at the age of 63 following a 10-year battle with cancer.
A native of Kitchener, Ont., Schnurr played parts of four OHL seasons between his hometown Rangers, the Peterborough Petes and the Kingston Canadians from 1974-78 before playing at the University of Western Ontario. He put up 130 points (47-83-130) over his 178 game OHL career, serving as captain of the Petes during the 1976-77 campaign.
