The Petes acquired a 13th round pick in the 2027 OHL Priority Selection from the Guelph Storm in-exchange for defenceman William Haley.
Haley, a 2005-born defenceman, was a first round pick in the 2022 OHL U18 Priority Selection by Mississauga.
He played in 21 games for the Steelheads in parts of two season before being traded to the Petes at last year’s trade deadline.
In 26 games with the Maroon and White, he tallied 3 assists.
“On behalf of the Petes, I’d like to thank Will for his commitment and for being a great teammate over the past season,” Petes GM Mike Oke said. “We wish him nothing but the best as he continues his career in Guelph.”
The Petes play their 2024-25 home opener on Thursday night against the rival Kingston Frontenacs.
