The sign is in partnership with Signarama and Fully Promoted Peterorough where both companies are working on designing videos and other content for the new board.

The fully-digital video board will be installed in time for the 2021-22 home opener on Thursday, Oct. 14. It will feature the highest resolution screens and futuristic front -and back- end software and hardware to provide a revolutionized fan experience according to the press release.

“We’re thrilled to see this project come to life as the Petes continue to work toward providing our fans, and the entire community of Peterborough, with a league-leading experience.” said Dave Pogue, Petes President. “Fans are already showing their eagerness to return to the rink this fall, and this project represents a strategic investment that will elevate game night at the PMC to new heights.”

The new centre-hung video board will consist of four large, widescreen digital displays with the league’s best resolution. Below the main screens will be a fully digital dynamic LED ring to further enhance the in-game experience. The existing video board’s digital screens and traditional score clocks will be repurposed over the coming years.

“In my 12 years of working in hockey, I’ve never seen a corporate partner step up the way Signarama/Fully Promoted did this past spring,” explained, Eric Ebenbauer, Petes Director of Sales. “This project wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible effort put in by Morgan, Marty, and the rest of the Signarama team.”

“This video board will be like nothing ever seen before in Peterborough,” added Morgan Smith, Signarama/Fully Promoted Peterborough CEO. “My staff and I attend every Petes game and when the opportunity to work on this project arose, we jumped at the chance to provide our services and give fans and partners at the PMC - like ourselves - the best and most advanced experience in the province.”

The project will be financed by the Petes. Much like with other building improvement initiatives paid for by the team in the past including the Family Zone seat upgrades, all PMC tenants will have the opportunity to use the video board.

“This is an exciting announcement for anyone who uses the PMC,” noted Jeremy Giles, PMC Facility Manager. “All of our tenants, user groups and fans now have one more reason to get excited about returning to Peterborough’s premier sport and entertainment facility. This board is a real win-win situation and I’d like to thank the Peterborough Petes for being the driving force behind making it happen.”

The Petes will welcome the Sudbury Wolves and first-overall draft pick Quentin Musty for their home opener on Thursday, Oct. 14 at 7:05 p.m.
