Ice Boating On Historic Trent-Severn Waterway Anyone?

Similar to sail boats, some people actually go ice boating. This incredible photo was taken on the historic Trent-Severn Waterway in Kawartha Lakes. What a beauty—we just had to share.

Petes Raise Over 3,000 Pounds of Food Through Project Shutout Hunger

The Peterborough Petes are proud to announce that 2,416.2 pounds of food have been raised through the Project Shutout Hunger program. When combined with cash donations collected throughout the campaign, 3,090.1 pounds of food will be donated to the Kawartha Food Share.
 
Eight teams representing the Peterborough Minor Hockey Council (PMHC) participated in the program, holding tag days and other events to help end hunger in our community. The Novice AAA Petes collected 856.4 pounds of food, the most raised by any participating team. As a reward for their efforts, they will attend the Petes game on January 29 against Connor McDavid and the Erie Otters. Prior to the game, the team will be recognized in an on-ice presentation.
 
Kawartha Food Share General Manager Steve Sullivan says “We’re thrilled to see the support from the Petes and local minor hockey organizations. Project Shutout Hunger helps feed more than 7,600 men, women and children in our community every month.”

Petes Star Player Nick Ritchie Has Been Traded To Soo Greyhounds

Nick Ritchie, star player of the Peterborough Petes, has been traded away. Ritchie, fresh off winning a Gold Medal with the Canadian World Junior team over Russia, was dealt along with Petes captain Connor Boland to the Soo Greyhounds—a deep team who are making a Memorial Cup run this year. Ritchie, a prospect of the Anaheim Ducks, has 32 points in 25 games with the Petes this year. In exchange, the Petes will receive defenceman Kyle Jenkins, Plymouth’s 2nd round pick in the 2015 OHL Priority Selection, Sault Ste. Marie’s 3rd round pick in 2017, and the Greyounds’ 2nd round pick in both 2019 and 2020. With the Petes in last place in the East Division and showing no signs of making a playoff run, they appear to be in rebuilding mode again.
