"Peter's place is a barbershop. I like the whole vibe there. He's such a genuine guy and so patriotic. He really loves his country and his hockey. I have a woman who cuts my hair in L.A., so sometimes when I'm in Toronto I don't need a haircut. I still drop into the shop just to talk. There's always something going on and Peter's Barber Shop in Toronto is the go to place for hockey. Peter knows way more than some of the beat writers here in L.A. ."

"...Also known as ‘Toronto’s other Hockey Hall of Fame’, it has been serving bearded Torontonians and notable members of hockey’s alumni for half a century. Gordie Howe, Scotty Bowman and Denis Savard are just a few of those lucky enough to have been served by the blade of Peter. Though preferred clientele may be limited to Leafs fans, it’s fair to say anyone that’s a fan of hockey or a quality moustache trim should make the trip to Weston Village."

"... Hockey Hall of Fame curator Phil Pritchard donned his white gloves and carefully removed the Cup from its carrying case and placed it on one of the chairs in the world famous barber shop that looks more like a hockey shrine than a hair cutting emporium..."
by Bob Mitchell Toronto Star Oct 29 2011
"....places like Peter's Barber Shop are becoming increasingly rare...besides being a sort of Weston Village boys club, Peter's attracts a healthy clientele both loyal and new from as far away as Georgetown, St. Catharine's, and Barrie.....it's even famous enough to have made it onto the Canadian sports tourist circuit...."
Jacob Rutka the GRID September 12th 2012
"...rated one of the top 8 hottest barber shops in North America and the ONLY independently owned shop in Canada...."

SCOTT AND SHELDON FROM THE TV SHOW CANADIAN PICKERS
"...BUT AT PETER'S BARBER SHOP IN WESTON, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HOCKEY. INDEED MR. KALAMARIS' ALTERNATE HOCKEY HALL OF FAME HAS DRAWN A LOT OF ATTENTION OVER THE YEARS AND ITS REPUTATION IS CLEARLY BIGGER THAN ITS FOOTPRINT..."
SAMUEL GREENFIELD NATIONAL POST
FEBRUARY 8 2013
"...If you’re a hockey fan in Toronto searching for the true heart and soul of Leafs Nation, you’ll find it on a small street just off the main thoroughfare of Weston Village.
Peter’s Barber Shop is a long way from the quiet, corporate-owned seats of the Air Canada Centre’s platinum section, but it’s known to a certain hardcore group of Leafs enthusiasts as “Toronto’s other Hockey Hall of Fame....”
