Peterborough Petes News Release
(Peterborough, ON) - Peterborough Petes 2024 Training Camp presented by Sign-A-Fied, East Side Mario's, and Hybrid Fitness, Health, Performance began on Tuesday, August 27 at the PMC, with participants taking part in camp registration, medical screenings, headshots, and fitness testing.
"We're very pleased with the results that we saw today," noted Petes General Manager and Vice President of Operations Michael Oke.
