The Peterborough Petes is an Ontario Hockey League (OHL) team in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. They play out of the Peterborough Memorial Centre (capacity: 3,829). The Peterborough Petes last won the Memorial Cup in 1979.

History

The Peterborough Petes started play October 1st 1956, when the team was moved from Kitchener (Kitchener Green Shirts) and it was announced that it would become a farm team for the NHL Montreal Canadiens.

The first game was played on Sunday November 4th 1956. Their original uniforms were in the colours of the Montreal Canadiens, and were adorned with the logo for a local shipping company TPT (Toronto Peterborough Transport).

The team name officially became the 'Peterborough Petes Hockey Club' in 1966. Moreover, it was not until 1974 that the team adopted the now famous maroon and white uniform with the still in use Petes logo.

In January 2000, a new '3rd' jersey was introduced.

Peterborough Memorial Centre

The Peterborough Memorial Centre, home of the Peterborough Petes, was constructed in 1956, is a single pad arena. It's most noted for having a large stage to the south end of the arena, along with its large portrait of the Queen. It is named in honour of the many war veterans who came from the region.

Along with hockey, the arena has hosted many events from trade shows, summer fairs, to lacrosse games and corporate Christmas celebrations for large industries such as Canadian General Electric.

In 2003, the Memorial Centre was renovated adding 24 luxury box suites, improved concessions, a licensed restaurant, new seats, boards, scoreboard and the addition of air conditioning.

Capacity: 3,863 - additional 1,000 seats can be placed on the arena floor for concerts.
