Articles published in The Peterborough Examiner will be updated here. In 2019, Examiner Sports Director Mike Davies asked me to cover the Peterborough Sr. Lakers when he was on vacation, and that role has expanded to covering other local sports including pro-am men’s and women’s soccer and the Ontario 55+ Summer Games when Mike has time off. In 2022, I was put on the Jr. A Lakers beat.
