Logan DeNoble grew up playing minor hockey in Peterborough
Among the group of kids on this year's roster, we’ve noticed something pretty awesome: a 17-year-old hometown boy named Logan DeNoble has cracked the team in his “rookie” season. Yes, a drafted prospect is making his first opening night roster!
Logan has always been a big Petes fan
Drafted in 2013, in the 13th round, and wearing jersey No. 28—which he wore in minor hockey—Logan DeNoble grew up in Peterborough being a huge Petes fan. He was developed in the minor league hockey system right here in Peterborough.

Having played in a small portion of games last season, this is essentially the local product's rookie season. If you asked yourself who the last Peterborough drafted product was to play for the Petes, names like John Brioux, Brad Self and even Zac Bierk might pop up as your guess. It’s actually the first time since Derek Holden in 2007 that a Peterborough born kid has suited up for his hometown team in his rookie season.

Logan is not only fulfilling a lifelong dream of wearing the maroon and white, but is actually following in the footsteps of his grandfather Ron Chittick (66-68), great uncle Perry Chittick (67-68), and Uncle Jeff DeNoble (86-87)—all of whom played for the Petes.
