SERIES PREVIEW: Kelowna Rockets vs. Everett Silvertips -
On paper, it wouldn't be crazy to see this series as a potential Memorial Cup matchup. The regular-season champion Everett Silvertips are coming off the winningest season in franchise history, while the Kelowna Rockets have caught fire as they prepare to host the 2026 Memorial Cup. Both teams are coming off statement first-round sweeps. Everett found some playoff absolution by downing the rival Portland Winterhawks, who had eliminated the Silvertips for the last three years. Kelowna flexed just how far their group has come by taking out their longtime foes, the Kamloops Blazers. The Silvertips are tied for most playoff goals in 2026 with 25, though no skater has more than four (a credit belonging to Seattle Kraken prospect Julius Miettinen). A staggering 14 Everett skaters have lit the lamp, including draft-eligible Matias Vanhanen, the WHL's first exceptional-status defenceman, Landon DuPont, and Florida Panthers prospect Shea Busch, who scored in his return to the lineup after

Sasha Mutala is flying high to close out his UBC Thunderbirds career. The former Tri-City Americans alternate captain has been named the 2025-26 Canada West/Western Hockey League Top Performer after a historic campaign for UBC. Mutala led the conference in scoring with 46 points (12G-32A) in 28 games, marking the highest point total by a Thunderbirds skater in 30 years and setting a program record for single-season assists. He was only held off the scoresheet three times this season, while helping UBC to a program record 23-win campaign. "It's truly an honour," Mutala said. "I know so many good players who have won these awards in the past, and it's very humbling to be recognized so much in such a short period of time. Team success breeds individual success. I was so lucky to play with two incredible players, with Scottie (Scott Atkinson, Edmonton Oil Kings) and Dougie (Chris Douglas, Red Deer Rebels) on my line...

What a way to return to the playoffs. The Kelowna Rockets and Kamloops Blazers are back in the battle for the Ed Chynoweth Cup- but to have a shot at the WHL's top prize, the teams have to go through their bitterest rival. The 2026 Memorial Cup host Rockets return to the postseason after a one-season absence. While injuries and a new look roster have led to some up-and-down stretches, the Rockets have found their footing with a 21-8-3-2 record since January 1 to claim home ice in Round One. Kamloops is playing spring hockey for the first time since hosting the Memorial Cup back in 2023. The Western Conference 4 vs. 5 matchup features two of the league's most dynamic forwards.

"When you're actually, you know, they tell you you're actually going to play... It's pretty cool. It's kind of like, 'Okay, this is it. Here we go'. I've been waiting for this for a long time, and I felt pretty ready for it." Indeed, Garand has parts of five professional seasons with the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack under his belt.
