McCARTNEY MAKES DEBUT WITH PETERBOROUGH

Press Release

Lindsay Muskies forward Matt McCartney made his OHL debut as a member of the Peterborough Petes on December 29 in their home game versus the Erie Otters.

The 5'9", 168 lbs. native of Scarborough, Ontario is a product of the Toronto Jr. Canadiens midget program who was selected in the 8th round, 162nd overall by the Petes in the 2011 OHL Priority Selection.

McCartney has played as a rookie member of the Muskies all season thus far, recording two goals, both in the same game on October 14 during a 7-2 victory over the Mssissauga Chargers. McCartney received the call to the Petes this week when the club ran into injury trouble, joining Muskie teammates Ryan Zupancic and J.C. Campagna in Peterborough. The 16-year old rookie would record his first OHL assist during the Petes 5-2 victory over Erie.

Congrats to Matt on making the OHL jump.
