The Vancouver Canucks announced today that they have signed Petes forward Adam Novotn\u00fd to a three-year, entry level contract.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Novotn\u00fd, a forward from Kobylice, Czechia, was selected by the Canucks in the first round, 24th overall, in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, after spending the 2025-26 season with the Petes. Peterborough originally selected him in the first round, 8th overall, of the 2024 CHL Import Draft. In his first season in Peterborough, Novotn\u00fd played in 58 games, scoring 34 goals and adding 31 assists for 65 points.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to Adam on this amazing accomplishment,\u201d said Petes General Manager and Vice President of Operations Michael Oke. \u201cAdam has certainly put the work in to reach this point in his career, and it comes as no surprise to any of us on the staff to see him achieve this milestone. <\/span>I\u2019d also like to extend a congratulations to the Novotny family, who have supported Adam through every step of his hockey journey<\/span>. <\/span>We\u2019re all incredibly proud of what he has accomplished so far in his career and are looking forward to supporting him as he continues to work towards his goal of playing in the NHL.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before coming to Peterborough, the 2007-born forward featured in 41 games for Mountfield HK in Czechia\u2019s top professional league, scoring one goal and adding two assists for three points. He also featured in 10 playoff games for Mountfield, scoring twice. In 2023, Novotn\u00fd made his debut in the Czech Extraliga for Mountfield, scoring in his first game and becoming the youngest player to score a goal in the league at 15.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so happy for Adam, earning his entry-level contract with the Vancouver Canucks,\u201d noted Petes Director of Player Personnel and Assistant Coach Patrick O\u2019Connor. \u201cWorking with <\/span>him every day, it is no surprise that he\u2019s accomplished this. He is an elite athlete who is fully committed to developing and becoming a professional player in the NHL. This could not have <\/span>happened to a nicer young man. Congratulations, Adam, you\u2019ve earned it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vancouver Canucks General Manager Ryan Johnson had this to say about the signing in a media release sent out by the team:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cCharacter, compete and a winning mentality, those are three of the things we really appreciate about Adam\u2019s DNA. It was a small sample size, but he showed us a lot at our development camp last month in Abbotsford. Besides his strong skating, puck control, and quick release, Adam was relentless in his pursuit of the puck and battled very hard in each drill.\u00a0 A coachable and honest player, his leadership qualities were also noticeable, and you could tell right away how committed he is to try to do things the right way. We are very excited to have Adam sign his ELC and we look forward to working with him in the years to come.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honour to sign with such a great organization,\u201d exclaimed Quinn. \u201cBeing a hometown kid, it really means the world to me and my family to be able to join the Petes. I\u2019m very eager to get going and make a positive impact on the team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Peterborough Petes General Manager and Vice President of Operations Michael Oke announced today that the team has acquired 2007-born forward Cooper Dennis from the Brantford Bulldogs in exchange for 2009-born forward Kaden McGregor.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very excited to join Peterborough and play for the Petes,\u201d said Dennis. \u201cThere\u2019s so much history with this team, it\u2019s really awesome to get the chance to play in front of their amazing fanbase. I can\u2019t wait to get going.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dennis, from Ithaca, NY, was originally selected by the Bulldogs in the sixth round, 109th overall, in the 2023 OHL Priority Selection. Dennis joined the Bulldogs last season after recording 34 points in 55 USHL games with the Dubuque Fighting Saints in 2024-25. In his first season in the OHL with Brantford, he played in all 68 games, scoring 34 goals (second on the team) and adding 40 assists for 74 points. He also had seven points in 15 playoff games, helping the Bulldogs reach the Eastern Conference Finals.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a quick player who doesn\u2019t stop moving his feet,\u201d continued Dennis. \u201cI like to battle, create opportunities, and put the puck in the back of the net.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last season, Dennis also led the OHL in +\/- with a +48. Dennis is currently committed to continue his hockey and academic career at the University of Michigan when his time in the OHL is complete.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“We’re very excited to add a player of Cooper’s caliber to our roster,” said Oke. \u201cHeading into the summer, we identified him as our number one target to acquire during the offseason. Analytics show that he\u2019s one of, if not the top forward returning to the OHL this season. We believe Cooper is an excellent fit for our lineup and will complement our returning core well.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Going the other way in the deal is 2009-born forward Kaden McGregor. McGregor is coming off <\/span>of his first season in the OHL, where he tallied 20 points in 39 games.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“We had to make the difficult decision to move Kaden to complete this deal,” continued Oke. “It’s never easy to trade a young, talented player like Kaden, but we’ve had to make similar very difficult decisions in the past. We want to thank him for his contributions to our organization and wish him nothing but the best as he continues his OHL career in Brantford.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Peterborough Petes General Manager and Vice President of Operations Michael Oke announced today that the team has signed 2026 first round pick Landon Roulston to an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Roulston, from Oakville, ON, was selected by the Petes in the first round, 13th overall, of the 2026 OHL Priority Selection.

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very excited to welcome Landon to Peterborough,\u201d said Oke. \u201cLandon is a big, strong, two-way forward who loves to compete. He made a strong impression both on and off the ice at Development Camp earlier in June, and is someone who possesses the skill and character that we look for in a Peterborough Pete.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This past season was Roulston\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peterborough Petes General Manager and Vice President of Operations Michael Oke announced today that the team has signed 2007-born forward James McMurray to an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a dream come true to join the Petes, the team I grew up watching,\u201d exclaimed McMurray. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to get the season started.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

McMurray, a Fenelon Falls, ON, native, has spent the last two years in Sheffield, Massachusetts, playing for Berkshire School in the New England Prep School Athletic Council (NEPSAC). In those two seasons, McMurray totaled 78 points in 65 games. A product of the Central Ontario Wolves organization, McMurray played for the Peterborough Petes U18s in 2023-24, leading the team in points with 47 in 34 games played. That same season, he featured in three games for the Lindsay Muskies of the OJHL, picking up an assist.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cJames is a player we’ve been tracking since his days with the Central Ontario Wolves,\u201d said Oke. \u201cWe got to know him well during his time with the U18 Petes and when he attended our Development Camp in 2024. He\u2019s a skilled forward who competes hard every shift and is coming off two strong seasons at Berkshire School in Massachusetts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
