The Peterborough Petes have acquired forward Ryder McIntyre from the Oshawa Generals in exchange for Peterborough’s sixth-round pick in the 2027 OHL Priority Selection announced on Friday afternoon.
The 6’3” 218 lbs. forward was selected in the third round, 51st overall, by the Sarnia Sting in the 2020 OHL Priority Selection. He played 63 games with the Sting before being acquired by the Generals in October last year. The 2004-born Stouffville, ON native appeared in 133 OHL games over his three-year career, scoring 13 times and adding 17 assists for 30 points. He was an Ajax Pickering Raiders product and was named as a part of the Generals leadership group this season, serving as an alternate captain.
“We’re very excited to add Ryder to our lineup,” said Michael Oke, Petes general manager and vice president of operations. “Ryder is a veteran forward whose leadership and experience is going to be very beneficial for us. We look forward to having him join up with the team and can’t wait to see him on the ice.”
The Petes start their weekend back-to-back on Saturday against the North Bay Battalion where McIntyre is making his debut according to Rob Wilson, Petes head coach. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
