i get it, im just not sure that its lead to better players coming out of u18. outside of simpson has it made a measureable difference in the development of prospects? i dont think there is evidence that it has. a local u18 feeder hasnt lead to better players on the petes as of yet.

That’s fair. Obviously getting into a quality Jr.A or B program and getting icetime would be the preferred option.
thats why mccallum went to lindsay i would think have to wonder if patey or kavanagh would be better off playing jr a when they were 16. i think if you can, jr b is way better. patey was way over hyped by website scouts but he should have been a decent depth ohl player.
id be curious what it costs the petes to billet the players, if they have too.

HUGE fan of this short offseason! New logo embedded in centre ice. A much more clean and traditional look that suits the most iconic and historic OHL franchise well

Nice and classic logo for sure. Now if they (and all arenas for that matter) would only remove all the other “stuff” off the ice, we’d have a nice clean surface to play the game on.

Dave Lorentz Named President of the Petes Board of Directors - Peterborough Petes
Lorentz played three years for the Petes from 1987 to 1990, and was Captain of Peterborough’s 1989 OHL Championship team.

When I was 6 and Dave Lorentz was captain of the Petes, he got me in and gave me a tour of the dressing room after one of the games, so there's that.

have you heard of any trade rumours about your guys? Obviously you guys are gonna be in sell mode this year just curious who you may be getting back
It’s depends on Robertson if he comes back I think but I heard Mayer in Ottawa or Sudbury
If Mayer is going to Ottawa or Sudbury, I can't imagine Oke will do it before the deadline.
It would be bad enough having to face Mayer playing in the East for the last half of the season let alone the whole season!
Unless Oke gets an early offer that is too good to pass up - so many variables......which OAs return, what offers they get pre-season, optimizing the 1st half lineup to earn enough points to qualify for the playoffs even after selling off at the deadline.
Less than 2 weeks until training camp. I believe Wednesday August 30th will be the first on-ice day.
You should hit him up for another dressing room tour.......I believe there have been some changes since then

Ya know-that Mayer is some kind wonderful.
Regular season Mayer was a dependable good stay at home defender -but nothing that exciting just a good solid defender.
Playoff Mayer was a total BEAST !
It was like he was a completely different player -he would rush the zone and score.
He unleashed a brutal punishing style -ai was so surprised.
Anyone going for a playoff run would be lucky to get him -and I hope they pay dearly for him

Definitely unfortunate we missed out on Lock but it was a big swing at the end of the day. Feels like there is a big uptick in Americans not coming to the OHL this year as a whole so far

Total legend -he gave so much to this organization.
to be fair when has peterborough ever signed a higher end american? nothing wrong with trying at all, just expectations need to be fair with regards to recruiting.
True. I guess I just don’t understand the decision… play for a coach that just won an OHL championship and graduated multiple players to pro hockey or play for western Michigan?
Interesting choice but It’s clear his priority was staying in Michigan but you’d hope to at least get Michigan or Michigan State.
just as playing in peterborough probably would be amazing for a peterborough kid, playing in michigan would be amazing for a michigan kid. plus, you dont know what, if anything peterborough offered the kid, what if the michigan education deal is way better? i can't see peterbough handing out 30k american a year to a player, but thats me. maybe they did.
Looks great!! I wish they'd put out some merchandise that featured the classic logo like that. Simple Maroon and White, no black trim or anything like that.

That’s what it all should be this year and moving forward. That logo is now the primary logo for the Petes
