The Petes got Saginaw Spirit’s fourth-round pick and Windsor’s 2025 third-round pick in 2025 while trading defenceman James Guo and their sixth-round pick in 2023.

Gauvreau, a 2003-born defenceman from Hamilton, was originally drafted by the North Bay Battalion in the 10th round, 191st overall, in the 2019 OHL Priority Selection. A 6’2”, 190lbs, shutdown defenceman, Gauvreau has played 72 games in his OHL career with one goal and eight assists, along with 113 penalty minutes. Gauvreau was traded to Saginaw from the North Bay Battalion in a four-player deal.

“We’re excited to welcome a player of Cam’s character and ability to Peterborough,” said Michael Oke, Petes general manager. “He is a hard-working defenceman who will add a competitive edge to our blueline, while also providing leadership support on and off the ice.”

Peterborough also traded Stevie Leaskovar for the Mississauga Steelheads’s fifth-round pick and a 10th-round pick in 2025.

The Petes next game is against the Sarnia Sting on Thursday. Newly acquired Owen Beck and Cam Gauvreau will make their Petes debut while Brennan Othmann returns from the World Juniors.
