Petes Select Landon Roulston with 13th Overall Pick in the 2026 OHL Priority Selection
On Friday, June 12, the Peterborough Petes completed the first round of the 2026 OHL Priority Selection where they held the 13th overall pick in round one.
With the 13th overall selection in the first round, the Petes drafted Landon Roulston, a forward from the Vaughan Kings U16s.
“We were very excited to be able to select Landon Roulston with our first pick of tonight’s draft,” noted Petes General Manager and Vice President of Operations Michael Oke. “Landon is a big, strong forward who plays a good two way game and loves to compete. He’s a player we followed closely throughout the season with Vaughan, and we’re looking forward to seeing him on the ice at development camp next week.”
Roulston, a centreman from Oakville, ON, played in 33 games with the Vaughan Kings U16s of the GTHL this season. In those 33 games, he scored 18 goals and added 20 assists for 38 points, good enough for second on his team. After helping the Kings win the GTHL Championship, the 6’1” forward scored one goal and added three assists for four points in four OHL Cup games. This season was Roulston’s second playing U16 hockey in the GTHL. In 2024-25, he played 26 for the Toronto Marlboros U16s, picking up 17 points. He added another two points in four games in the 2025 OHL Cup.
“I can’t stop smiling,” exclaimed Roulston. “I’m super excited and honoured to be a part of such a great organization. There’s nothing more I can say.”
