Penticton Vees clinch berth in 2026 WHL Playoffs -
Shortly after the Penticton Vees were announced as the WHL's 23 franchise in spring of 2025, General Manager and Head Coach Fred Harbinson made one goal clear. "The biggest thing is if there's a way that we could fight to try to find a way to make the playoffs," Harbinson told WHL.ca ahead of the 2025 WHL Prospects Draft. "When you look at the National Hockey League or the Western Hockey League, those are the type of leagues (where) if you can make the playoffs, anything can happen." Nearly one year later, the Vees haven't just put their best foot forward- they've enjoyed a historical season. The B.C. Division leading Vees have become the second Western Conference team to qualify for the 2026 WHL Playoffs with a 3-1 thriller against the Swift Current Broncos. Former Bronco and League veteran, Brady Birnie gave the B.C.-based Club a spark in the second frame, before teammates Matteo Danis and Ryden Evers added two more tallies in the third.. With a 37-12-4-4 record, Penticton has s

United States take overtime gold, 10 Western Hockey League alumni medal at 2026 Winter Olympic Games -
Milan, Italy- 10 Western Hockey League alumni have medalled, including nine silver medalists with Team Canada, in the NHL's return to the Winter Olympic Games. Canada fell to the United States 2-1 in a three-on-three overtime decision. The States drew first blood as Matt Boldy danced several Canadian defenders to beat Jordan Binnington. In the second period, the ice started to tilt Canada's way as the Maple Leaf contingent outshot their opponents 19-8, though the United States successfully killed off a 5-on-3 opportunity. Finally, Stanley Cup Champion Cale Makar levelled the match with a sharp wrister that snuck over the pad of Connor Hellebuyck on the blocker side. But regulation wouldn't be enough, and with Canada leading 41-26 in shots, the stage was set for sudden-death three-on-three overtime. That's where Jack Hughes potted the game-winner on a two-on-one break. Nine Canadian WHL alumnus have now earned their first Olympic medal: F Bra

Memorial Cup champion Marner buries in overtime, Jarvis registers assist to send Canada to Olympic Semifinals -
Milan, Italy.- Another day, another thrilling chapter in Canada and Czechia's fiery on-ice rivalry. 2016 Memorial Cup champion Mitch Marner scored in overtime to seal a comeback 3-2 win for Canada and a berth in the Olympic semifinal- though it came at a cost, as CHL great and Captain Canada Sidney Crosby exited the game with an injury. Teenage phenom Macklin Celebrini converted a feed from 2015 CHL Player of the Year Connor McDavid 3:05 into the opening frame. But Czechia countered at the midway point of the period as Everett Silvertips graduate Radko Gudas forced a Canadian turnover to spring Roman Cervenka and Lukas Sedlak for the equalizer. In 2009-10, Gudas led all Silvertips defencemen in scoring with 37 points (7G-30A) and a +45 rating in 65 games and was named to the WHL Western Conference Second All-Star Team. The Czechs put themselves in the driver's seat with a late powerplay strike from David Pastrnak. Canada had to wait until the second period to res

Former WHL Champion Thompson picks up win in Olympic debut, Canada stays undefeated in Milan -
Milan, Italy.- 2016 WHL Champion Logan Thompson (Calgary, Alta. / Brandon Wheat Kings) steered aside 24 shots in his Olympic debut to backstop Canada to a 5-1 win over Switzerland on Friday afternoon. "Getting that call was a dream come true," Thompson told the WHL back in January after being named to the squad. "I'm really thankful again, and just really excited to get over there in any role that they want me to be. I'm just gonna be the best Logan Thompson I can be." Turns out, that Logan Thompson is pretty damn good in an all-WHL goaltending matchup. The match kicked off with a bang as Portland Winterhawks graduate and Swiss flagbearer Nino Niederreiter burst into the Canadian zone on a three-on-one rush, only to find his shot denied by a stalwart Thompson. A tripping call against Switzerland saw the lethal Canadian powerplay take quick advantage, with 2015 CHL Player of the Year and Edmonton Oil Kings captain Connor McDavid burying a wrister from 2013 Memorial

Calgary, Alta.- The Western Hockey League announced today that Edmonton Oil Kings defenceman Carter Sotheran has been named Tempo WHL Player of the Week, Fuelled by Co-op for the week ending Sunday, February 8. The 20-year-old from Sanford, Man., pulled out an impressive seven points (4G-3A) and a +5 rating in two games to help the Oil Kings extend their winning streak to three games. Sotheran came through with a goal and an assist in a key 4-2 win over the Central Division rival Medicine Hat Tigers on Wednesday, February 4. The 6-foot-4, 199-pound blueliner lit the lamp with a long, screened wrister to give the Oil Kings a 2-0 edge before serving up a powerplay assist on Lukas Sawchyn’s game-winning goal. On Friday, February, Sotheran erupted for a career-best night with a hat trick and two assists in an 11-4 rout of the Moose Jaw Warriors.

Blazers netminder Edmonstone named Mary Brown’s Chicken WHL Goaltender of the Week -
Calgary, Alta. – The Western Hockey League announced today Kamloops Blazers netminder Logan Edmonstone has been named Mary Brown’s Chicken WHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending Sunday, February 8.
