“We’re excited to announce that we’ve signed Calum Hartnell to a Scholarship and Development Agreement,” said Michael Oke, Petes general manager and vice president of operations. “Calum had a strong season last year with Carleton Place, making his debut with the Petes later in the year. He has shown throughout his time in Peterborough that he has the qualities that we’re looking for, both on and off the ice.”

The 2007-born defenceman was originally selected by the Petes in the 10th round, 193rd overall, in the 2023 OHL Priority Selection. Last season, he played in 52 games for the Carleton Place Canadians of the CCHL, scoring three goals and adding 17 assists for 20 points.

Over the past two seasons, Hartnell has played in five games for the Petes, making his OHL debut in Brantford on March 1 of this year.

The Petes are back in action for the OHL’s  Rivalry Week on Thursday when they host the Oshawa Generals. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
