Peterborough Is Getting Pickleball Fever
/Pickleball is sort of a hybrid sport between ping pong, tennis and badminton. The game is played with a hard paddle and a whiffle ball, on a badminton sized court. It feels like tennis, but is a slower game as the ball doesn't travel as fast as a tennis ball. The game is very popular among seniors—it's usually played as doubles—but is fun for all ages. A group has been playing at the Wellness Centre for the past few months and at the Legacy Bowl in Knights of Columbus Park recently (see pics below), where about 20 people showed up. Organizers would eventually like to see a pickleball court in Peterborough. For more information and to find more places to play, visit Pickleballassociationofontario.org or email pickleballptbo@gmail.com.

Diehard Montreal Canadiens Fans Have Great Workout At Y This Morning
/Montreal knocked off Boston in Game 7 last night (May 14th) to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Rangers, another showdown of Original 6 teams. Diehard Habs fans across Canada went nuts—including in hockeytown Peterborough. Exhibit A: Tony Caravaggio, Steve Downer, Ron "Crunch" Crossman and John Delorme (all pictured below) at the YMCA of Peterborough, who got their workout in with Habs gear (and rug)—along with PK Subban's jersey on the end machine—this morning. Tony (far left) below is rocking his Bob Gainey jersey, and Steve's in the sleeveless jersey. They even began chanting with other fans in the workout area the Olé, Olé, Olé, Olé chant. —Scott Arnold

Watch "The Goal"
/The Peterborough Petes have totally won us over. They were down 3-0 down in their first round playoff series against Kingston. Then, against all odds, then won 3 straight to force a deciding Game 7 in Kingston last night (April 1st). It was a game for the ages: end to end action, lots of close chances at both ends, pure drama. It was 1-1 heading into OT. Andrew D'Agostini was brilliant in net—he stood on his head and then some—and then... "The Goal" by Nick Ritchie. And for only the 4th time in OHL history, a team had come from 3-0 down in a series to win it. Oshawa, you're next. But in the meantime, watch this over and over and over again...
