Third-year defenceman Carson Cameron was named the organization’s 64th captain in franchise history.

 “We’re excited to be able to announce Carson Cameron as the 64th captain of the Peterborough Petes,” said Michael Oke, general manager and vice president of operations. “Carson has proven to be someone that our players respect both on and off the ice over his two years with the team and we’re very confident in his leadership moving forward.” 

The Bobcaygeon native was originally selected by the Petes in the first round, 13th overall, in the 2023 OHL Priority Selection. In two seasons with the Petes, the 2007-born defenceman has played in 122 games, scoring 11 goals and adding 38 assists for 49 points. 

“It’s a big deal to be named Captain of an organization like the Petes,” said Cameron. “It’s something that I will take full advantage of moving into this year with the guys. The last couple of years have been tough but it’s time to start playing some winning hockey. I’m going to give everything I have this season and I expect nothing less from anyone else on this team.”

In September last year, Cameron was named as a part of the Petes leadership team, wearing an A throughout the 2024-25 campaign. Over the summer, he attended both the Florida Panthers Development Camp and Training Camp.

Cameron is joined by Braydon McCallum and Colin Fitzgerald, who serve as alternate captains at home while Aiden Young and James Petrovski get the As on the road.

The Petes return home to host the Soo Greyhounds for the first and only time this season at the Peterborough Memorial Centre this Thursday at 7:05 p.m.
