Dylan Peterson is Main Line Boys Athlete of the Week (Jan. 16-22)

Peterson, a senior defenseman for the Lower Merion High School ice hockey team, led the Aces in scoring and has been a key factor in their drive to a Central League playoff spot. Noted for his knack of scoring big goals, he routinely covers the opponent’s top player. LM head coach Dan Harkins said, “Dylan is a tremendous player and fun to watch but he is an even better teammate. He brings a positive attitude to the team and with his playing experience, it’s like having another coach out on the ice.” Peterson also plays varsity lacrosse for Lower Merion, where he is a member of the National Honor Society and the Israeli Culture Club.
