A 50-goal season in any level of hockey is a special milestone.
Peterborough Petes’ forward Nick Robertson is just three goals away from reaching the iconic mark.
Head Coach Rob Wilson says it’s been fun to watch Robertson and see him develop into one of the most feared snipers in the Ontario Hockey League.

Sports Editor of the Peterborough Examiner Mike Davies says this season is among the most impressive ever by a member of the Maroon and White.
