The leadership group for the Petes has been finalized.
Overage defenceman Shawn Spearing will wear the “C” for the second straight season. Spearing was announced as the 61st Captain in Petes history last season.
Alternate captains will include Seattle Kraken prospect Tucker Robertson, Selwyn native and Philadelphia Flyers prospect, J.R. Avon, and Peterborough native and New Jersey Devils first round pick, Chase Stillman. Vancouver Canucks prospect Connor Lockhart will wear an “A” whenever one of the other members of the leadership group are unable to play.
Head Coach Rob Wilson says Shawn, Tucker and J.R. have been with the team for a few years now, and they brought in Chase last year and he’s a good voice in the room and can lead by example. The same goes for Connor Lockhart. Overall, he adds he’s really happy with the group.
Peterborough is currently 8-3-1 and in second place in the OHL’s East Division.
