PETERBOROUGH, ON – Ricky’s All Day Grill, in partnership with the Peterborough Petes, have announced Petes’ veteran forward Mike Lomas as the Ricky’s All Day Grill Petes Player of the Week for the week ending March 1st, 2010. For his accomplishments, Mike receives a gift certificate from Ricky’s All Day Grill.Lomas, a native of Burlington, ON, was acquired in a trade early in the season by the maroon and white from the Owen Sound Attack. His play of late has brought him more playing time with the injuries to key players. Now sitting with thirty-eight points on the campaign, Mike notched six points including three goals and three assists which moved him into fifth place on the Petes leading scorers. Since coming over to the Petes, Lomas has thrived in his role as a top six forward that came due to his improved play with added ice time.
Don’t miss out on your chance to catch Mike and his teammates this Thursday when they play host to the Ottawa 67’s, 7:00 PM at the Memorial Centre.

Petes Skid Reaches Nine
PETERBOROUGH, ON – The Peterborough Petes have officially gotten into a slump. Losers of eight straight heading into action against the Owen Sound Attack tonight, the Petes were unable to hold an early lead as they dropped their ninth in a row by a 7-4 final.
The first period was all maroon and white as they jumped out to an early 3-0 lead before giving up a late goal to head into the intermission up 3-1. Matt Puempel got the Petes on the board when he snuck a shot through Attack goaltender Scott Stacjer’s pads after receiving a long stretch feed from overage forward Pat Daley. Mike Lomas would score his first goal of the game before Austin Watson notched his second in as many games since returning to the lineup last night.
The Attack dominated the rest of the game as the Petes were only able to solve Jordan Binnington, who replaced Stacjer after the third goal, once on Lomas’ second of the game half way through the third period which was enough to earn him second star honours.
Rookie goaltender Andrew D’Agostini was solid in goal despite allowing six goals as he was left to fend for himself on several occasions due to defensive miscues. Austin Watson picked up the Hardest Working Pete of the Game as he had one goal to go along with his strong defensive play which saw him block several shots on Owen Sound’s eight man advantages.
Next action for the Petes is Thursday night when they play host to the Ottawa 67’s in their final meeting of the campaign. Game time for Thursday’s game is 7:00 PM.

Watson Returns, Skid Continues
PETERBOROUGH, ON - "It's too easy when you're not winning to look for excuses and point at others for reasons." Sean Burke.
This isn't the case for the Peterborough Petes. They have stopped pointing the finger, and instead are accepting the blame. In what was marked as the return of Austin Watson, the maroon and white could not quite take advantage of little mistakes by the Guelph Storm, as they saw their losing skid stretch to eight games at the Sleeman Centre in Guelph tonight.
The first period was dominated by the Petes, although the Storm escaped with a 2-0 lead. Scoring twice on just six shots in the period, the Storm put the maroon and white in a hole they couldn't dig out of.
Outscoring the Petes 3-2 in the second period, Guelph looked to have the game wrapped up. However, a strong comeback helped get the Petes to within one goal before being unable to solve Brandon Foote for the tie in the dying minutes.
Scorers for the Petes included Jamie Wise who notched his third, Jamie Doornbosch with his eleventh, Brett Theberge with his fifteenth and sixteenth, and Matt Puempel with his twenty-seventh.
Next action for the Petes is tomorrow night when they finish off the weekend at the Harry Lumley Arena in Owen Sound at 7:30 PM.

Surging Dogs Squash Petes
PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Niagara Ice Dogs are getting hot at the right time. With just two weeks left in the season, the Ice Dogs have it a hot streak at the same time the Petes have gone cold. Receiving points in just three of their last ten games, the Petes will look to snap that skid when they hopefully receive Austin Watson back to the lineup before taking on the Guelph Storm tonight.
Last night was all Dogs from start to finish. Leading 3-1 after the first, 3-1 after the second, and adding two more in the third, the Petes couldn't muster much of anything, falling 5-1.
With the possible addition of Watson to their lineup, the Petes will look to snap their seven game losing skid and get a much needed two points against the Storm at the Sleeman Centre tonight at 7:00 PM.

Petes Hang Tough, Drop Afternoon Decision
PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes earned just one point in their two games this weekend. Taking on the second ranked teams in either conference, the London Knights and Ottawa 67's, the Petes managed to force the Knights to a shootout before falling victim to a very talented London squad before traveling to the Nation's Capital this afternoon and dropping a 5-2 decision.
In last night's meeting with London, Mike Lomas, Brett Theberge, Jack Walchessen, Justin Larson, and Lomas' second of the night was enough to force the extra frame against the Knights. Rookie goaltender Andrew D'Agostini played well in between the pipes despite allowing five goals in regulation. It took the Knights six rounds in the shootout to finally put the Petes away in what was the best full effort by the maroon and white this season.
Today the Petes ran out of gas. Playing in the second of back-to-back games, Matt Puempel and Liam Heelis tallied for the maroon and white and Jason Missiaen was steady in goal.
Next action for the Petes is Thursday night when they take on the Niagara Ice Dogs at the Peterborough Memorial Centre before heading off to Guelph and Owen Sound to close out their Western Conference play for the 2009-10 season.
