“It’s a dream come true to join the Petes, the team I grew up watching,” exclaimed McMurray. “I can’t wait to get the season started.”

McMurray has spent the last two years in Sheffield, Mass., playing for Berkshire School in the New England Prep School Athletic Council. He totalled 78 points in 65 games. A product of the Central Ontario Wolves organization, McMurray played for the Peterborough Petes U18s in 2023-24, leading the team in points with 47 in 34 games. That same season, he played in three games for the Lindsay Muskies of the OJHL, registering one assist.

“James is a player we've been tracking since his days with the Central Ontario Wolves,” said Michael Oke, Petes general manager and vice president of operations. “We got to know him well during his time with the U18 Petes and when he attended our Development Camp in 2024. He’s a skilled forward who competes hard every shift and is coming off two strong seasons at Berkshire School in Massachusetts.”
