Peterborough Petes Make History With First Woman Zamboni Driver
/Evelyn Johns becomes the first woman in history to drive a Zamboni during a Peterborough Petes game at the Peterborough Memorial Centre (PMC) last Monday.
Johns drove the Zamboni during the Family Day game last Monday where the Petes defeated the visiting Barrie Colts 3-2.
“I was nervous, super nervous,” said Johns. “I’ve done lots of games at the Healthy Planet Arena but it’s a lot different at the Memorial Centre. My heart started pounding with all those people watching me.”
The Petes would like to welcome Evelyn Johns to the mighty maroon and white! Evelyn joins the @PtboMemCentre building operations crew, becoming the first woman to drive a zamboni for a Petes game!#GoPetesGo pic.twitter.com/z1L3HGpP3J
