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. "It's very evident that both our returning and recently drafted players put their work in over the summer. We're looking forward to seeing that effort out on the ice beginning tomorrow morning."

"It was a very busy day at the arena with the Lakers getting ready for their game six match against Six Nations," continued Oke. "Thank you to the City of Peterborough and the Lakers for collaborating with us to make today possible and good luck tonight!"
