The Peterborough Petes have signed defenceman Calum Hartnell to an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement, the team announced Wednesday.
“We’re excited to announce that we’ve signed Calum Hartnell to a Scholarship and Development Agreement,” said Petes General Manager and Vice President of Operations Michael Oke. “Calum had a strong season last year with Carleton Place, making his debut with the Petes later in the year. He has shown throughout his time in Peterborough that he has the qualities that we’re looking for, both on and off the ice.”
Hartnell, born in 2007, was originally selected by the Petes in the 10th round, 193rd overall, in the 2023 OHL Priority Selection. Last season, he appeared in 52 games with the Carleton Place Canadians of the CCHL, scoring three goals and adding 17 assists for 20 points.
Over the past two seasons, Hartnell has also played in five games for the Petes, making his OHL debut on March 1 in Brantford.
The Petes are back on the ice tonight when they host the Oshawa Generals as part of the OHL’s Rivalry Week Puck drop is set for 7:05 p.m. at the Peterborough Memorial Centre. Tickets are very limited and can be purchased online or by calling the box office at (705) 743-3561.
You can listen to Peterborough Kia Petes Hockey on Freq 90.5 with coverage getting underway just before 7pm.
