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.

Famous quotes containing the word carpet:
“A child of three cannot raise its chubby fist to its mouth to remove a piece of carpet which it is through eating, without being made the subject of a psychological seminar of child-welfare experts, and written up, along with five hundred other children of three who have put their hands to their mouths for the same reason.”

“My veins are filled, once a week with a Neapolitan carpet cleaner distilled from the Adriatic and I am as bald as an egg. However I still get around and am mean to cats.”
—John Cheever (1912–1982)
“A wind has started a little whirlpool
of sand where the carpet ought to be,
and shells lie
by the preposterous feet
of that woman who frets me, annihilates me,
O she will kill me yet.”
