The team is looking for kids ages 5-12 to shadow the following roles for Sunday’s game.

The Petes are wanting the following positions to be filled:

  • General manager

  • Head coach

  • Assistant coach

  • Associate coach

  • Public address announcer

  • In-game host

  • Two scouts

Kids can apply for the various positions by completing the Next Gen application online form.

For the position of head coach, assistant coach or associate coach, kids are asked to send in a video of a pre-game speech that they would deliver to the Petes ahead of a big game. The video must remain under two minutes and be filmed landscape (horizontal).

For public address or in-game host, children are asked to upload a video that includes them reading the following script: "Here is the starting line up for your Peterborough Petes presented by Chemong Home Building Centre! Starting in goal Tye Austin, on defence Donovan McCoy and Shawn Spearing. At forward: Joe Carroll and Tucker Robertson and J.R. Avon! And here are the remainder of your Peterborough Petes."

For the position of general manager or scout, applicants are asked to complete the Nex Gen scouting report for any current Peterborough Petes player.  

The application to become a member of the Next Gen squad is due on Thursday at 11:59 p.m. All parents of the Next Gen applicants will be contacted Friday.

Those selected to be a part of the Petes Next Gen squad will have the opportunity to receive a behind the scenes tour of the Memorial Centre ahead of puck drop on Sunday afternoon, catch on-ice warm up from the Petes bench, enjoy a meal in the media/scout room and meet members of the Petes hockey operations staff.
