The 2005-born defenceman was selected by the Steelheads in the first round, 13th overall, in the 2022 OHL U18 Priority Selection. In 21 OHL games, he netted two assists. Last season, Haley played in 46 games for the Pickering Panthers of the OJHL, scoring once and adding 13 assists for 14 points. The Couburg native is a product of the Ajax/Pickering Raiders U18, picking up 17 points in 26 games during the 2021-22 season.

“William is an 18 year old defenceman who has played in multiple situations,” said Michael Oke, Petes general manager and vice president of operations. “He will provide additional depth to our lineup.”

The Petes are going to Hogwarts to host the Frontenacs on Thursday for Harry Potter night at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
