Pecker played five seasons in the OHL with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and the Erie Otters. During his 279-game tenure in the OHL, Pecker accumulated 155 goals and 313 points and was an OHL First-Team All-Star in 2002 with the Otters, as well as a member of the Memorial Cup All-Star Team that year.
