Inside the Clash of the Kingdoms: Breaking Down the CHL’s Premier Season Series and Why the NHL Will be Watching Closely. What to Know About the Pre-Season Series Between Two Prospective 2026-27 Canadian Hockey League Contenders Traditional pre-season games rarely attract attention beyond the teams involved. It is an opportunity for player evaluations following Training Camps and coaching and development before games begin to count. However, this September, much of that will not be the case when the London Knights arrive in Victoria for a two-game series, which has been appropriately dubbed the “Clash of the Kingdoms” at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. The series features enough NHL talent, 2027 draft prospects and organizational storylines to make it one of the most intriguing events on the Canadian Hockey League’s schedule this season. From an NHL scouting perspective, it is difficult to find a better matchup anywhere in North Amer

DBTB – Here we go, my fellow Sabre fans…as the school year gets underway, another Draft year has come! Now, I know we’re all focused on things like the Buffalo Sabres replicating last year’s performance, or even exceeding it, and things like Connor Hellebuyck or Kirill Marchenko joining the club. No one is thinking much about the Draft at this point in time. That’s cool.  Still, as we discovered this off-season, one never knows how things will transpire on Draft Day. I certainly never envisioned the Sabres selecting at #4 and at #20 in the first round, but…that’s exactly what happened. So I will continue to follow these young prospects, really more for my own entertainment, but also for you, DBTB, in the event you have a hankering for some junior hockey or are, like Casey Kasem before you, keeping your feet on the ground while reaching for (future) stars!  And while I’m most certainly an amateur when it comes to player assessment and prospec

And it all started with a ninth-round draft pick. The Saskatchewan-born-and-bred forward made his WHL debut on December 4, 2021, and scored his first goal on December 27- the game-winning strike against the Blades' greates

To be included in this list, a player must be recently drafted, signed to an NHL contract, or meet the NHL’s criteria for rookie status. The Vegas Golden Knights are rolling the dice on a promising young group stacked with WHL experience. Sean Burick Big Burr made a splash in his first spin in the WHL. The 6-foot-8, 214-pound defender logged four assists in 50 games with the Penticton Vees, but was also among the tops on the team with a +25 rating and 56 penalty minutes. His punishing style of play helped Penticton rank among the stingiest teams in the WHL while winning the B.C. Division and setting a CHL record for most wins by an expansion team in its inaugural season with 44. Burick, from San Clemente, Calif., picked up another pair of assists in 12 playoff games as the Vees reached the Western Conference Championship. The 18-year-old

Oiring suited up for every possible game for the Raiders, marking 271 consecutive reg

We look forward to welcoming him to Kitchener.” Prior to his time in Quad City, T

Tij Iginla is next up in a long line of prospects looking to break ice with the Mammoth in 2026-27. Sebastian Cossa The 23-year-old puck stopper from Fort McMurray, Alta., is set for a fresh start in Salt Lake City after being dealt to the Mammoth from the Detroit Red Wings during the 2026 NHL Draft. A first-round selection (15th overall) of the Red Wings in the 2021 NHL Draft, Cossa backstopped the Edmonton Oil Kings to the 2022 WHL Championship – capping an excellent WHL career that saw him go 71-16-4-3 with a 2.12 goals-against average, .921 save percentage, and 14 shutouts in 98 career regular season appearances.

Adam Jecho A hand injury marred a significant chunk of Adam Jecho's season and forced him to withdraw from the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship, but the 6-foot-5, 201-pound forward still put up strong minutes on a significantly improved Edmonton Oil Kings squad. The Zlin, Czechia product posted 36 points (10G-26A) in 47 games before adding another four points (1G-3A) in seven playoff matches. Jecho, 20, was named an alternate captain for Edmonton in his third season in the provincial capital.

To be included in this list, a player must be recently drafted, signed to an NHL contract, or meet the NHL’s criteria for rookie status. The Seattle Kraken are among the NHL's most Dub-heavy clubs and feature two of the WHL's most recent champions. Clarke Caswell Buzzy playmaker Clarke Caswell's first season in the NCAA saw him propel Denver to a national championship, netting 34 points (8G-26A) in the regular season before coming up big with the game-tying goal in the Frozen Four semifinal. He was recognized as the national Rookie of the Month for March/April. The 6-foot, 185-pound forward from Brandon, Man., previously spent parts of four seasons with the Swift Current Broncos, including a run as captain in 2024-25. His final season saw him break out for 84 points (22G-62A) in 65 games. Over his WHL career, the 20-year-old logged 191 p

To be included in this list, a player must be recently drafted, signed to an NHL contract, or meet the NHL’s criteria for rookie status. After a long seven seasons without playoff hockey in San Jose, the Sharks have laid the groundwork to become a Western Conference force in the coming years. Luca Cagnoni Twenty-one-year-old Luca Cagnoni's second professional season saw the 5-foot-9, 181-pound defender take a slight step back in production, but find the tools he needs to make the NHL. Cagnoni put up 43 points (8G-35A) in 67 games, ranking fifth on the San Jose Barracuda in scoring and 10th among all AHL defencemen. Notably, 23 of those points (3G-20A) came on the man advantage. He earned three games in the NHL and looks to carve out a position for himself on special teams for the Sharks. The Burnaby, B.C. product played more than 200 gam

To be included in this list, a player must be recently drafted, signed to an NHL contract, or meet the NHL’s criteria for rookie status. The Pittsburgh Penguins created one of the most memorable moments of the 2026 NHL Draft when they selected the superstar Ruck twins from the Medicine Hat Tigers. Harrison Brunicke Six-foot-3, 196-pound defenceman Harrison Brunicke skated into history in 2025-26 when he became the first South African-born skater to make his NHL debut. Brunicke, 20, ended up netting his first NHL goal in nine games with the Pens before getting more ice time with the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. He had another eight points (1G-7A) in 11 spins at the AHL level. The jersey-swapping continued as Brunicke represented Canada at the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship and returned to the Kamloops Blazers for a final run

WHL Career Stats: 131 GP – 16 G-33 A – 49 points WHL Draft: Listed (Prince George Cougars) Nolan Chastko’s Western Hockey League career was defined by his willingness to do whatever his team needed. The Brandon, Man. product signed with the Prince George Cougars as an undrafted player in 2022 before eventually making his way to Everett, Wash. After making a fistful of preseason appearances with the Cougars, Chastko made his WHL debut on September 21, 2024, as a 19-year-old for the Silvertips. He made an immediate impact in Everett, recording 14 points in 63 regular season appearances during the 2024-2

After taking the opening round off at the 2023 NHL Entry Draft in Nashville, Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito selected center Gracyn Sawchyn from the Western Hockey League’s Seattle Thunderbirds late in the second with the 63rd overall pick. Sawchyn is a hard-working, high-energy prospect who was somewhat polarizing among scouting services and hockey publications, who had him ranked anywhere from 13th to 90th, at the time. EliteProspects had this to say: Sawchyn’s game is not a complex one. He sprints hard after the puck, and if he can’t outright win the race, he tries to win the ensuing battle, then, he looks for a teammate. If the pass isn’t available, he drives inside without much concern for his safety. While Sawchyn is a meat-and-potatoes type, putting up 58 points in 58 games is an impressive feat for a slight 18-year-old. Among his strong points are his relentless forec

Saskatoon, Sask., - A familiar face is back with the Blue and Gold. The Saskatoon Blades have acquired 20-year-old defenceman Tyrone Sobry from the Prince George Cougars in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2028 Western Hockey League Prospects (WHL) Draft. “We were informed on Friday that Tristan Doyle would be leaving for NCAA, so we immediately inquired about adding Tyrone back," said Blades president and general manager Colin Priestner. "Our coaches felt he was exactly what our defensive core needed as a 20-year-old. He plays hard, simple hockey and is extremely well liked in our room. He will be a strong shutdown presence for us this year.” The 6-foot-2 blueliner was acquired by the Blades on October 14, 2025 in a trade with the Prince Albert Raiders. Sobry recorded three goals, four assists, and 20 penalty minutes in 29 games with Saskatoon last season. The left-handed blueliner was acquired by the Cougars at last year's trade deadline, where scored one goa
