With the playoffs kicking off at home on Thursday against North Bay, the store is stocked with fresh merchandise, special deals, and plenty of fan-focused events designed to celebrate the season and reward supporters.
The Petes Store has undergone a fresh redesign, showcasing new playoff t-shirts, hats, and affordable options for families and collectors alike. For Million, the playoffs mean more than merchandise though. It’s about community and giving fans a way to show their pride. The store’s special promotions, including clearance items and warm-up pucks, allow fans to take a piece of the Petes experience home, whether they’re cheering from the stands or supporting from afar.
