The Peterborough Petes will honour Indigenous culture and history on Thursday night as they host their annual Indigenous Heritage Night at the Peterborough Memorial Centre. The event, presented by Crowe’s Gas, will take place during the team’s matchup against the Windsor Spitfires, with puck drop set for 7:05 pm.

A key visual element of the night is a special logo created by Kory Parkin, an Indigenous artist from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.
