Peterborough Petes News Release
(Peterborough, ON) - The Peterborough Petes are excited to announce that they have selected Nick Lardis in the first round, sixth overall in the 2021 OHL Priority Selection presented by Real Canadian Superstore .
Lardis, a 5'10", 155 lbs forward, played for the Oakville Rangers during the 2019-20 season. The Oakville, Ontario native recorded 40 goals, 34 assists, 74 points and 12 penalty minutes in 37 games.
