• He finished second on the Winterhawks in scoring in both the WHL playoffs (9-19--28 in 21 games) and 2013 Memorial Cup (1-9--10 in five games). His breakout season earned Petan a selection to the WHL’s Western Conference First All-Star Team.

• On March 10, 2012, 12 days before his 17th birthday, Petan became the first 16-year-old in Winterhawks history to score four goals in a game. His impressive 2011-12 campaign earned him team co-Rookie of the Year honors with Chase De Leo.

At the 2011 Canada Winter Games, he finished third in tournament scoring with 12 points (4-8--12) in six games to help Team British Columbia capture gold. He also skated for Team Pacific at the 2012 Under-17 World Hockey Challenge.
