Congratulations to Waterloo Wolves’ alum, Steve Lo- rentz, on being named a road game Assistant Captain with the Peterborough Petes. In 2012, Steve was drafted by the Petes in the 12th round; 226th overall. Since then, he has grown 7", gained 60 lb. and after scoring 23 goals in just 58 games, has proved any sceptics wrong. 2016-17 is Steve’s final junior hockey season. Good luck Steve, we’ll be watching and cheering.
