Peter Holland (born January 14, 1991) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centreman currently playing for the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL). Holland was selected by the Anaheim Ducks in the first round, 15th overall, of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, and made his NHL debut for the Ducks during the 2011–12 season.
Holland grew up in Bolton, Ontario, playing youth hockey for the Brampton Jr. Battalion. After a successful minor midget season, where Holland had 119 points (59 goals and 60 assists in 60 games), he was selected in the first round, 11th overall, by the Ontario Hockey League (OHL)'s Guelph Storm in the 2007 OHL Priority Draft. His 2008–09 season caught the attention of scouts, as he earned a spot in the OHL All-Star Game, played in the Canada-Russia Challenge and participated in the 2009 CHL Top Prospects Game. He also represented Team Canada at the 2009 IIHF World U18 Championships. Heading into the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Holland was ranked 19th by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau. The Anaheim Ducks selected Holland in the first round, 15th overall.
On November 5, 2011, Holland made his NHL debut. After scoring 11 points in 12 games to start the 2011–12 season with the Syracuse Crunch, the Anaheim Ducks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate), Anaheim recalled Holland to play in a 5–0 road game loss against the Detroit Red Wings. He scored his first NHL goal, which turned out to be the game winner, on November 11, 2011, against Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks.
