2022 Offseason
After a disappointing end to the 2021/22 season, the Petes had a very productive offseason. The first major moves were to sign prospect Kallaway Mercer and free agents Aidan Campbell and Jack Beck. Beck is 19 while Campbell and Mercer are 20, but these players will allow the team to fill their overage spots and help the team on the wing while Campbell will create a good competition in the net as a 2.5-star goalie. Up next was the OHL draft in which the Petes picked 11th, but made moves right away by trading for Michael Misa, the 1st overall pick by the Soo Greyhounds, for 18-year-old two-way defenseman Dylan Gordon, depth winger Cory Jewitt, and three second-round picks. Brothers Michael and Luke Misa will now be able to play together and both have the potential to be top picks when the NHL draft comes for them. After the Misa trade, the Petes managed to get their second choice player with the 11th overall pick by selecting Henry Mews, a defenseman/centre who can competently play any position but goalie in the middle of the lineup despite being a 16 year old.
