It’s do-or-die for the Peterborough Petes (0-2) at the Memorial Cup tonight when they play their final game of the round robin against the QMJHL champion Quebec Remparts (2-0)
After losing their opening game to the Seattle Thunderbirds 6-3 on Saturday, the Petes were pounded by the host Kamloops Blazers 10-2 on Sunday.
A Petes loss tonight would send them home, but a win will keep their Memorial Cup dreams alive, putting them into a tiebreaker game on Thursday with whoever loses tomorrow’s game between the Blazers and Thunderbirds.
Head Coach Rob Wilson says his team has faced adversity before and is confident that they will have a good performance tonight.
The Petes played a very physical style of game during the OHL championship playoff run, something defenseman Sam Mayer says they need to get back to
You can listen to Peterborough Kia Petes Hockey right on Oldies 96.7, Freq 90.5 and Classic Rock 107.9 beginning at 8:30pm with the Tailgate Show.
