PETERBOROUGH, ON - Despite a valiant effort by the Peterborough Petes at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, the Majors were able to fend off a late game push to beat the Petes 4-3 Friday night. With the win, the Majors extend their winning streak to six games and with the loss, the Petes see their record fall to 8-9-0.
Strong play by rookie goaltender Andrew D'Agostini and continued success by the line combination of Pat Daley, Ryan Spooner, and Matt Puempel kept the Petes within striking distance for most of the game against a strong Majors' squad who crept into the CHL Mastercard Top 10 rankings this past week.
The Petes now head off to the National Capital Region for a meeting with the Ottawa 67's at the Urbandale Centre on Monday morning at 10:30 AM. The game will be the end of a long weekend for the Petes as they leave tomorrow morning. First stop will be at the Scotiabank Centre to catch a meeting between the Ottawa Senators and Zach Bogosian's Atlanta Thrashers. The maroon and white will continue their journey to Parliament Hill with a guided tour by local MP Dean Del Mastro.

Petes Make It Three In A Row
PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes continued their early season domination over their arch-rival Oshawa Generals with a 6-4 home ice victory. It was the Petes' third straight win over Oshawa in the young Ontario Hockey League season. Of the Generals six loses, three have come at the hands of the mighty maroon and white in the "115 Series".
Petes' sophomore forward Ryan Spooner led the attack with four points, including one goal and three assists. Equally important was his plus four rating on the evening. Jamie Doornbosch and Matt Puempel each added two goals and newcomer Jamie Wise potted an empty net goal for his first Ontario Hockey League tally.
Petes' overage defenceman Christopher Breen, playing in front of the home crowd for the first time, put in a solid effort. Of particular note was his sliding out into the slot to block a late game scoring chance for the Generals with the Petes hanging on to a 5-4 lead.
Once again goaltender Jason Missiaen was outstanding in out dueling Oshawa counterpart Kevin Bailie.
All in all, all of the Petes played well and contributed to this important victory which moves Peterborough into a first place tie in the Eastern Division with the Generals and Kingston Frontenacs.
Next action for the Petes comes tomorrow night when they visit the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors at the Hershey Centre.

Hurricanes Prepare for Lions
PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Holy Cross Hurricanes Senior Football team may have met their match. Although the game will not be played until 1:00 PM on Thursday at Trent University, the mood around the halls is very dull as they get set to face the league's number one team in the Adam Scott Lions.

Petes End Skid With Solid Effort
PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes put an end to their early losing slide last night with a 5-3 victory over the visiting Saginaw Spirit at the Memorial Centre. The victory brings the Petes back to .500 on the year.
The Petes came out of the gate flying in the first period as Sault Ste. Marie native David Quesnele got the maroon and white on the board on a backhand past goaltender Edward Pasquale. The momentum was dampened for a short time when Spirit forward Ivan Telegin beat Petes' goaltender Jason Missiaen. However, goals by rookie Matt Puempel and Quesnele gave the Petes a 3-1 lead heading to the second period.
It took the Petes just 45 seconds in to the frame to extend their lead to three. However, it was short lived as the Spirit managed to cut the lead to 4-3 on goals by Jordan Szwarz and Tyler Murovich just 59 seconds apart. After a timeout by Petes' head coach Ken McRae to calm the team down, the Petes scored 46 seconds later on a beautiful pass through the slot to Adrian Robertson who tucked a wrist shot past Pasquale.
The third period saw Missiaen put on a goaltending clinic, stopping 26 shots to keep the score 5-3.

Huge Character Win for Petes
PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes showed what they are made of tonight as they beat the Sudbury Wolves 5-3 at the Sudbury Community Arena in Sudbury.
Playing their third game in three nights, without captain Zack Kassian in the lineup and losing Matt Puempel to an undisclosed injury, the maroon and white persevered with a strong team effort against a tough Sudbury squad.
The first period was dominated in large part by the Petes as sophmore defenceman Adam Sedlak blasted a shot from the point that beat Wolves goaltender Alain Valiquette. With the score tied 1-1, Buckhorn native Justin Larson tapped home a rebound to give the Petes a 2-1 lead heading in to the dressing room.

Both teams exchanged chances in the third period as both goalies shut the door for fourteen minutes of play until Jared Staal scored on the powerplay for the Wolves to bring them within one. However, his efforts were erased as overage forward Brett Theberge scored in to the empty net to make the final 5-3 for the Petes.

Playing their third game in three nights, without captain Zack Kassian in the lineup and losing Matt Puempel to an undisclosed injury, the maroon and white persevered with a strong team effort against a tough Sudbury squad.
The first period was dominated in large part by the Petes as sophmore defenceman Adam Sedlak blasted a shot from the point that beat Wolves goaltender Alain Valiquette. With the score tied 1-1, Buckhorn native Justin Larson tapped home a rebound to give the Petes a 2-1 lead heading in to the dressing room.
The second frame looked identical to the first as the Petes outshot the Wolves 33-23 through two periods with Joey West and Pat Daley scoring to give the maroon and white a 4-2 advantage heading towards the final period of play.
Both teams exchanged chances in the third period as both goalies shut the door for fourteen minutes of play until Jared Staal scored on the powerplay for the Wolves to bring them within one. However, his efforts were erased as overage forward Brett Theberge scored in to the empty net to make the final 5-3 for the Petes.

Petes Fall to Hounds for Second Straight Time
PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes fell to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds for the second time in eight days tonight as they lost 4-1 in Sault Ste. Marie.
Rookie goaltender Andrew D'Agostini received his first career Ontario Hockey League start for the maroon and white but couldn't find his first win as the strong Greyhound squad riffled 4 by the young netminder. However there was no sign of nerves for the Scarborough native as he stopped 31 of the 35 shots he faced throughout the night earning him the game's 3rd star and "Diller's Digger of the Game".
The Petes' lone goal came on a power play midway through the first period as Pat Daley beat Sault goaltender Bryce O'Hagan to tie the game at 1-1.
Scoring for Sault Ste. Marie were Brock Beukeboom, Vern Cooper, Brett Thompson and Jacob Muzzin.
Petes' captain Zack Kassian left the game midway through the second period with an undisclosed injury/sickness.
Next action for the Petes comes tomorrow night when they visit the Sudbury Wolves, game time 7:05.

Petes Start off Weekend on Right Foot
PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes got their weekend started on a positive note as they won round two of the "115 Series", beating the Oshawa Generals 5-4 in front of 2,748 fans at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
As was the case last week in the Motor City, Oshawa jumped out to an early 2-0 lead only to have the Petes storm back for the victory. Badly out shot once again, Peterborough somehow found a way to ride the strong play of goaltender Jason Missiaen. Several players stepped up their game. Among them were overage center Brett Theberge who chipped in with a goal and an assist as well as winning many key faceoffs en route to being named the game's first star. Other strong performances turned in by Ryan Spooner who notched a timely shorthanded marker, Zack Kassian with strong play along the boards, and David Quesnele who potted the game winning goal.
The CHL's greatest rivalry played out as it has many times in the past. Following Kassian's early second period goal which tied the game at 2, a couple of scraps ensued, neither of which resulted in clear cut winners. Late in the game with just under five minutes remaining, the Gennies thought that they had evened the score at 5-5. However after a lengthy delay which saw both referees and both linesmen in communication with the video goal judge followed by an exchange between the referee and the goal judge in the arena the goal was waved off and the Petes maintained their 5-4 lead the rest of the way.
The Petes hopped on the bus immediately following the game and headed for Parry Sound for the night before heading off to Sault Ste. Marie for tomorrow night's game, 7:30 PM against the Greyhounds on the all new 100.5 Kruz FM.
