Petes Ring In New Year's in Style

PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes will be ringing in 2010 in good spirits as they closed out 2009 with a strong 1-0 victory over the visiting Belleville Bulls at the Peterborough Memorial Centre tonight.

The Bulls were looking to avenge their three previous losses on home ice at the hands of the maroon and white by upsetting the Petes at home. However, Petes' goaltender Jason Missiaen did not see that in their future as he stopped all thirty-one shots he faced for his first shutout of the season.

The Petes lone goal came midway through the first period when a soft Jamie Wise wrist shot was mishandled by Belleville goaltender Philipp Grubauer and found the back of the net with what ended up being the winning goal.

The three stars were Missiaen, Grubauer, and Wise with captain Zack Kassian being named the Hardest Working Pete.

Next action for the Petes is tomorrow afternoon when they travel to Kingston to take on the Frontenacs, 2:00 PM from the K-Rock Centre.
