Hoping to bring speed and toughness to their lineup, the Peterborough Petes have signed forward Quinton Pagé to a standard player agreement on Thursday.
Pagé, a 5’8”, 183 lbs left shot forward was selected by the team in the sixth round, 114th overall in the 2021 OHL Priority Selection. In 15 games with the Petes U18 AAA team this season, the Kincardine, Ont. native registered eight goals and six assists for 14 points.
During the 2021-22 Big Nickel Tournament, Pagé tallied five goals and two assists for seven points in seven games.
“It’s a huge honour to be signing with a historical franchise in the OHL,” said Pagé. “I’m looking forward to picking up things from some of the older guys and learning from all the coaching staff. They’ll teach me lots of things to support me in elevating my game.”
“He’s a hard-working, strong forward who has continued to work hard and develop throughout the fall in practices with us and while playing with the U18 PMHC AAA Petes. We are excited to have him join the lineup in tonight’s game,” explained Mike Oke, Petes general manager.
Pagé will wear #5 and is expected to make his OHL debut Thursday against the Mississauga Steelheads. He becomes the third player from the 2021 OHL Priority draft class to commit to the team, joining Nick Lardis and Zack Lewis.
