The '''Peterborough Petes''' are a [[junior ice hockey]] team in the [[Ontario Hockey League]]. The team has played at the [[Peterborough Memorial Centre]] in [[Peterborough, Ontario]], Canada, since 1956, and is the oldest continuously operating team in the league.

==History==
The Petes were formed on October 1, 1956, when the Kitchener Canucks relocated to Peterborough after the 1955–56 season. They also became a sponsored junior team for the [[Montreal Canadiens]] of the [[NHL]]. The Petes played their first game on November 4, 1956, and won their first game on November 8, 1956.{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

The Petes have won the [[J. Ross Robertson Cup|OHL Championship]] ten times, which is the second-most in OHL history behind the [[Oshawa Generals]] who have 13 and the most in the postwar era. The franchise’s most recent OHL Championship was in 2023 with a six game victory over the [[London Knights]]. They won the [[Memorial Cup]] once, in [[1979 Memorial Cup|1979]].{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

===TPT Petes===
The team was sponsored by Toronto-Peterborough Transport (TPT) from 1956 to 1966. [[Scotty Bowman]] was brought in to coach by the Montreal Canadiens organization from the [[Montreal Junior Canadiens|Ottawa-Hull Canadiens]] junior team, and led the team to a second-place finish in 1959. Peterborough defeated the [[Barrie Flyers]], [[Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters]] and [[Toronto St. Michael's Majors]] in the playoffs to win their first OHA championship. Bowman and the TPT Petes went on to reach the [[Memorial Cup]] for the first time that year but fell to the Winnipeg Braves. The TPT Petes claimed their first [[Hamilton Spectator Trophy]] during the 1965-66 season, but were eliminated from the playoffs.{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

===Roger Neilson era (1966–1976)===
The team became known as the '''Peterborough Petes Hockey Club''' in 1966–67, which was also the beginning of [[Roger Neilson]]'s tenure as coach. The Petes wore the TPT logo on their sweaters until 1974–75, when their colours were changed to maroon and white and a new "Petes" logo was adopted.{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

Neilson led his team to seven consecutive winning seasons from 1968 to 1975, also finishing first overall in 1970–71, winning the [[J. Ross Robertson Cup]] in 1972, and were runners-up in 1973 and 1974. In the 1972 Memorial Cup, the Petes lost a close 2–1 game in the finals to the [[Cornwall Royals]].{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

Neilson left behind a winning legacy in Peterborough and set the standard for coaches to come. Neilson was the first coach to use [[Video cassette recorder|videotape]] analysis as a teaching method, leading to the nickname "Captain Video," and also the first to use microphone headsets to communicate with his assistant coaches.{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

Neilson also pushed the envelope causing several rules to be rewritten. During one Petes game, his team was up one goal, but was down two men in a [[five on three]] situation for the last minute of the game. Realizing that more penalties could not be called under the existing rules, Neilson put too many men on the ice every ten seconds. The referees stopped the play and a faceoff was held relieving pressure on the defence. After this display the rule was changed so that a call for too many men on the ice in a 5 on 3 situation now leads to a [[Penalty shot (ice hockey)|penalty shot]].{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

Neilson also discovered that if he put a defenceman in net instead of a goalie during a penalty shot, the defenceman could rush the attacker and greatly reduce the chances of a goal.  Today the rule states that a team must use a goalie in net for a penalty shot, and that the goalie may not leave the crease until the attacking player touches the puck.{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

Neilson was promoted for the 1976–77 season, coaching the [[Dallas Black Hawks]] in the former [[Central Professional Hockey League|Central Hockey League]].{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

===Three seasons, three titles===
The Peterborough Petes won [[Three-peat|three consecutive]] OHL championships in 1978, 1979 and 1980. Gary Green coached the first two championships followed up by [[Mike Keenan]] in 1980. The Petes won the [[Hamilton Spectator Trophy]] two consecutive times in 1979 and 1980. Peterborough's success also continued into the Memorial Cup, reaching the championship game all three years, and winning the national junior title in 1979.{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

Many future NHL stars played for Petes in these three years. Those of note are: [[Keith Acton]], Bob Atwell, [[Keith Crowder]], Ken Ellacott, Doug Evans, Dave Fenyves, Tom Fergus, Larry Floyd, Mark Kirton, Rick LaFerriere, [[Steve Larmer]], [[Larry Murphy (ice hockey)|Larry Murphy]], Mark Reeds, Stuart Smith, Steve Smith, Bill Gardner, Tim Trimper and Jim Wiemer.{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

===Dick Todd era (1982–1993)===
[[Dick Todd (ice hockey)|Dick Todd]] started with the Petes as a trainer in the 1970s and was with the team through their three Memorial Cups. As a coach he led the team to two more Memorial Cup tournaments—in 1989 in Saskatoon, and in 1993 in Sault Ste. Marie. During Todd's time as coach, the Petes won six division titles and had the best overall winning percentage in the OHL. Todd was awarded the [[Matt Leyden Trophy]] as OHL Coach of the Year in 1987–88.{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

===Memorial Cup 1996===
The Peterborough Petes celebrated their 40th anniversary in 1996. The Petes won the J. Ross Robertson Cup defeating the Guelph Storm in the finals, then and also played at home while hosting the [[Memorial Cup]] tournament in [[1996 Memorial Cup|1996]]. The club achieved a 100% sellout each tournament game, and lost in the final that year to the [[Granby Prédateurs]].{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

===50th anniversary===
[[Image:PeterboroughPetes50th.png|right|100px]]
Todd returned as head coach of the Petes in 2004. Todd's second season back behind the Petes bench, was the 50th anniversary of the Peterborough Petes founding. They are the oldest continuously operating franchise in the Ontario Hockey League (the rival [[Oshawa Generals]] date to 1937 but were inactive from 1953 to 1962).{{citation needed|date=December 2023}}

The Petes celebrated their 50th anniversary in grand style, winning the [[J. Ross Robertson Cup]] on May 11, 2006, in a four-game sweep of the London Knights. Peterborough travelled to [[Moncton|Moncton, New Brunswick]], to play in the [[2006 Memorial Cup]], losing the third place tiebreaker game to the [[Vancouver Giants]]. Todd retired for good a few weeks after the Petes returned from Moncton.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-11-08 |title=Influencing 65 years of Petes history: Neilson, Todd, Twohey, Green & Pronger |url=https://chl.ca/ohl-petes/influencing-65-years-of-history-neilson-todd-twohey-green-pronger/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240604053007/https://chl.ca/ohl-petes/influencing-65-years-of-history-neilson-todd-twohey-green-pronger/ |archive-date=2024-06-04 |access-date=2024-06-04 |website=Peterborough Petes |via=Ontario Hockey League}}</ref>

===Rob Wilson era (2018–present)===
Under Rob Wilson, the franchise has made three playoff appearances. In 2023, the franchise won its tenth OHL championship and first since 2006, defeating the [[London Knights]], earning its tenth trip to the [[2023 Memorial Cup|Memorial Cup]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Stubbs |first=Mike |date=2023-05-21 |title=Peterborough Petes edge London Knights to win 2023 OHL Championship |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/9713557/peterborough-petes-edge-london-knights-to-win-2023-ohl-championship/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230603213247/https://globalnews.ca/news/9713557/peterborough-petes-edge-london-knights-to-win-2023-ohl-championship/ |archive-date=2023-06-03 |access-date=2024-06-04 |work=[[Global News]]}}</ref>
