Carpet
In 2008, the Peterborough City Council agreed to a 10-year $120,000 interest-free loan to finance the purchase and installation of a carpet for use by the Lakers in the Memorial Centre . The carpet was initially met with some resistance from some on council, however the plan was approved. Councillors argued it would increase usage of the Peterborough Memorial Centre during the Summer, increase player safety and would allow co-existence of the Lakers and the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League . To finance the carpet, sponsors are able to purchase advertising on the carpet during Lakers home games.
