Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins News Release
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins announced today that they have signed defenseman Brady Peddle to an amateur tryout agreement.
Peddle was selected in the third round (91st overall) by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. The six-foot-three, 205-lbs. defender spent this season with the Charlottetown Islanders of the Québec Maritime Junior Hockey League, where he posted 19 points (3G-16A) in 62 games.
Last season, Peddle played in the United States Hockey League for the Waterloo Black Hawks. The Antigonish, Nova Scotia native had 10 points (3G-7A) in 62 regular-season games, then matched his output with 10 points (1G-9A) in 15 playoff games on Waterloo's run to the Clark Cup Final.
Peddle's older brother, Tyler, was a 7th -round draft choice by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2023. The siblings had the opportunity to play together as teammates on Charlottetown this season. Their father, Brad, has logged 20 seasons as the head coach of St. Francis Xavier University men's hockey in their hometown of Antigonish.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's next game is tonight, Wednesday, Apr. 15, when the team hosts the Hershey Bears for the conclusion of their 10-game season series. Game time between the Penguins and Bears is set for 7:05 p.m. at Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza.
