craig meredith set the individual record during the lakers inaugural toonie dog night last month, eating 18 hot dogs. he says although he will be attending tonight’s game, he’ll be taking it easy on the dogs as he wants to give somebody else a shot at the title.

Fans snapped up 924 hot dogs during the team's first-ever Toonie Dog Night on June 4th, setting a new record for the most hot dogs sold during a lacrosse game at the PMC.

Now, the promotion returns on Thursday, July 23rd, as the Lakers host Retro Night presented by Lansdowne Place.

This time, the team has set its sights even higher. The goal is to sell 1,386 hot dogs, a number chosen to honour the 1986 Lansdowne Place Maulers, who will be recognized during the evening's festivities.

The original promotion drew long concession lineups and created a lively atmosphere throughout the game, with fans taking advantage of the $2 hot dog special while cheering on the Lakers.

The team also recognized the support of Maple Leaf Foods, Levy Canada, The Real Canadian Superstore and the City of Peterborough for helping make the promotion possible.

The fifth place Lakers (7-7) will host the third place Cobourg Kodiaks (9-7) for tonight’s Retro Night game, with tickets for the game are available through the Peterborough Memorial Centre Box Office or online via Ticketmaster.
