Yesterday marked the end of the season for the Peterborough Petes, as they fell one point short of the playoffs. It was a furious comeback that had a lot of "what ifs" and a brighter future with Jody Hull at the helm. Needing to win all three of their games and some help, the Petes beat both Mississauga and Kingston, though both needed extra time to do so, thus giving both Kingston and Mississauga that extra point to leapfrog Peterborough in the end, as both teams won their last game (against Ottawa) while Peterborough could not beat Brampton in their season finale.
It will be another long off-season for Peterborough, as they will likely need to find a replacement for goaltender Andrew D'Agostini and leading scorer Brett Findlay, as both will be graduating. Where there is certainty is coaching, as Jody Hull got the players to buy into the system and got them from fighting for the first overall pick in the OHL Bantam Draft at the holiday break to almost making the playoffs.
