Our deepest condolences to the Peters family. I will always remember Eric for the way he lived life and pushed the limits. I have Eric to thank for introducing me to hockey, although I would never get on the ice, we settled for roller hockey. It was amazing to see him play the game. I will forever cherish the memories I have of Eric from Booth Hill to SIS to running around the neighborhood in the summers.

My deepest sympathy to his parents and siblings.
