Roulston was selected by the Petes with the 13th overall pick in this year’s draft and is now set to continue his hockey development with the organization.

The Oakville forward joins Peterborough after a strong season with the Vaughan Kings U16s of the Greater Toronto Hockey League. In 33 games, Roulston recorded 18 goals and 20 assists for 38 points, finishing second on his team in scoring.

He also helped the Kings capture the GTHL Championship before adding four points in four games at the OHL Cup.

The 6-foot-2 forward was one of the players who made an impression during the Petes’ Development Camp earlier this summer, according to General Manager and Vice President of Operations Michael Oke.

“Landon is a big, strong, two-way forward who loves to compete,” said Oke. “He possesses the skill and character that we look for in a Peterborough Pete.”

Roulston said he is excited for the opportunity to join the organization.

“It feels awesome to join such a prestigious organization,” said Roulston. “It’s a really big step in my hockey journey and I am looking forward to getting started with this group. Now the real work begins.”

The Petes will begin their preseason schedule in Guelph on August 28th, with their first home preseason game set for September 3rd at 7pm when they host Sarnia at the PMC.
