The annual Teddy Bear Toss presented by Rexall returned to the PMC on Thursday, December 5, as the Peterborough Petes hosted the Sarnia Sting in front of their third straight sold-out crowd. The Petes won the game in overtime by a score of 3-2.
After Blake Gowan scored the Petes first goal in the third period, donations of stuffed animals, toques, gloves, and socks flooded the ice. The donations were picked up and counted by Chemong Home Hardware Building Centre. In total, 1571 donations were collected for the Salvation Army’s Annual Christmas Appeal.
Blake Gowan scored his first career OHL goal on the night, while Aiden Young and Caden Taylor (OT winner) also scored. Brennan Faulkner, Liam Ladds, Ryder McIntyre, Colin Fitzgerald, Braydon McCallum, and Carson Cameron all had an assist.
Easton Rye stopped 26/28 for his third win of the season.
The Petes are back in action on Friday when they travel to Brantford to take on the Brantford Bulldogs. You can listen to Peterborough Kia Petes Hockey on Freq 90.5 with coverage beginning just before 7pm.
