Peter Sarno


Peter Sarno is a Canadian former professional ice hockey centre, who last played for Alleghe Hockey in the Italian Serie A. He was selected in the sixth round of the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, 141st overall, by the Edmonton Oilers.

Playing career

As a youth, Sarno played in the 1993 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Toronto Marlboros minor ice hockey team.
After completing a relatively successful junior career with the Windsor Spitfires and the Sarnia Sting of the OHL, Sarno apprenticed in the Oilers farm system, playing for their AHL team, the Hamilton Bulldogs. After one season in Finland, Sarno returned to North America, where he played for the Oilers new AHL franchise, the Toronto Roadrunners. He also made his NHL debut, playing six games with the big club. Shortly thereafter, he was dealt to the Vancouver Canucks, who wanted more depth at their centre position. He played one and a half seasons for their AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, before signing on with the Syracuse Crunch.
Sarno then moved to Europe, signing with HC Fribourg-Gottéron in the Nationalliga A in Switzerland in 2006, followed by three seasons in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga in Germany, two with the Hamburg Freezers and one with Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg. In 2010, Sarno moved to Italy and signed with the Serie A club HC Alleghe.
