(Peterborough, ON) - Peterborough Petes General Manager and Vice President of Operations, Michael Oke announced today that the team has acquired Flint's second round pick in 2025, Guelph's third round pick in 2026, and Windsor's fifth round pick in 2027 from the Kingston Frontenacs in exchange for overage forward Jax Dubois.

Dubois, a 2003-born forward, was selected by the Petes in the 14th round, 273rd overall, in the 2019 OHL Priority Selection. In three seasons with the Petes, he has played in 152 games, scoring 32 goals and adding 55 assists for 87 points. The Ottawa, ON, native played in all 23 of the Petes playoff games in 2023, scoring once and adding two assists helping Peterborough to an OHL Championship. In the 2023 Memorial Cup, Dubois appeared in all five Petes games, picking up two assists in the process.

"On behalf of the Petes, I'd like to thank Jax for his commitment to the Organization over the last three seasons," commented Oke. "He was a huge part of our 2023 OHL Championship last season, and we really appreciate the attitude that he brought to the rink everyday. Despite being a 14th round pick, Jax has shown that hard work and dedication can make you a champion and Jax will always be known as a champion in Peterborough."

The Petes are back in action on Thursday, January 11 when they host the Kingston Frontenacs for Harry Potter Night. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at the PMC.
