Peterborough Petes

Covering the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL is nice, but it doesn't offer nearly enough material to write in the midst of the NHL lockout, which is robbing me of a lot of material.  So, in an effort to add some new hockey material, I will begin writing about an OHL team, specifically the Peterborough Petes.  If you haven't figured out why this team was chosen, then you haven't noticed the name that is typing this as you read this.

To get you up to speed on the Petes' season so far, they are dead last in the OHL, with only 20 points.  Recently, the Petes canned Mike Pelino as head coach and taking over for the rest of the season is one-time Florida Panther Jody Hull.  Francis Menard leads the team with 30 points and 2012 first round pick Slater Koekkoek has 25 points.  Golatending for the team is dreadful, with a 3.57 GAA by Michael Giugovaz.  Part of that problem is that scoring 86 goals while giving up 140 goals will more often than not, be a recipe for disaster.  The Petes hope to turn things around with a road game on the 28th at Kingston, and a home game on the 29th against Ottawa.  The Petes will have a home and home against Belleville on New Years Day and on January 3.
