Clash of the Kingdoms Game 1 Player to Watch: Jaxon Cover -
Victoria, B.C.- Jaxon Cover's hockey journey has seen him go from an inline skating star in the Cayman Islands to a first-round NHL Draft pick. "It's been pretty surreal," the 18-year-old grinned on Friday morning as he looked back on a whirlwind season. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound winger buried 20 goals and 32 assists for 52 points in 67 games with the London Knights in 2025-26. He ranked third on the Knights in scoring and fourth in points among all OHL rookies. It was a promising enough look that the Ottawa Senators called his name 32nd overall at the 2026 NHL Draft. "Going to the Ottawa camp, just seeing the next level that those players have, and just how much stronger and faster they are... I want to bring that to here," Cover said. Cover knows the feel-good story doesn't end with the draft and his first NHL development camp. With his second OHL season on the horizon, Cover is reflecting on a whirlwind season and dialing in on growing his own game. "Just a lo

In the WHL playoffs, St. Martin scored a goal and added four assists as the Tigers were ousted in five games in the opening round by the Red Deer Rebels. Developing instant chemistry with 2023 second-rounder Gracyn Sawchyn, St. Martin made a big impact at his first development camp and the 2024 Rookie Showcase in Nashville, scoring in all three games as the Panthers went 1-2, serving notice that he was a prospect worth keeping an eye on.

Maksim Sokolovskii is already showing off and proving some doubters wrong. When the Philadelphia Flyers selected the 6-foot-8 defenseman out of the London Knights at 27th overall a couple months ago, eyes were rolling from all over the fan base. It appeared that the Flyers just went back to their well of getting the biggest guy in the draft class to try and make the next Chris Pronger or just get all mean and physical again instead of trying to get a better team to win more hockey games. Especially when people hurried to Elite Prospects to then see that Sokolovskii scored a total of eight points in the OHL, it was natural to become disheartened and not really feel great about the pick.

In some act of organization, we’ve decided to compile a list of every single prospect in the organization and where they are projected to spend their 2026-27 season.
