John Peterson is signed and played last year for the Hampton Road Whalers 
“I’m really excited about signing with the Helena Bighorns for this upcoming season. Growing up, I’d hear stories from Mike Greene and Jed Snyder about the good old days and what a great place Helena was, and is. We have a great group of guys coming in, it’s going to be great getting to play with all of them and it will be awesome playing for the fans of Helena!”
-Johny Peterson
“Johny is that guy that you want on your team. High character, high compete level and very coachable. He brings a rare combination of size and speed and plays a responsible game all over the ice. Johny is a native of Colorado Springs and grew up in the Colorado Springs Tigers organization where he learned the importance of being a well-rounded athlete on and off the ice. He will be the first guy at the rink every day and loves everything about the game. We are really excited to have Johny Peterson join the Bighorns.”
