Peter earned first team all-star right winger honours for the league both years. In 1974, Peter moved to Switzerland playing there for 14 seasons, mostly with Ambri and Zug, always finishing in the top 5 in scoring. He then returned to Ottawa in the mid 1990’s to work as an assistant coach for the 67’s with Brian Kilrea and Bert O’Brien.
