OHL Power Rankings: 2026-27 Preseason Edition by the Ontario Hockey League -
A panel of 32 accredited OHL media members has weighed in on the 2026-27 season. Each voter submitted a 1-20 ballot, with a first-place vote worth 20 points and descending from there. The average score appears in brackets beside each team. The 2027 Memorial Cup host Guelph Storm open the season atop the rankings, edging the London Knights. OHL Power Rankings will be published weekly on Mondays. 1. Guelph Storm (19.47) The Storm carry the heaviest expectations in the league, and they've earned them. Guelph added Ryan Roobroeck — 99 career goals and counting — and Ethan Czata from Niagara, brought in Owen Griffin from Oshawa over the summer, and kept the group intact around Tyler Hopkins and 20-goal sophomore Carter Stevens. The crease is settled, too: overager Ben Hrebik enters the fold alongside Carolina Hurricanes prospect Zach Jovanovski, giving Cory Stillman two very capable options. With the 2

Petes Acquire Defenceman Jacob Xu from Knights -
Peterborough Petes General Manager and Vice President of Operations MIchael Oke announced today that the team has acquired left handed defenceman Jacob Xu from the London Knights in exchange for North Bay’s 4th round pick in 2028 and a 6th round pick in 2030. “Jacob is a big, left handed, physical defenceman who moves very well,” said Oke. “He’s a player that we took notice of during his U16 season ahead of the OHL draft and have watched closely during his time in the OHL. We believe that he will be a solid addition to our blueline as we prepare for next week’s home opener.” Xu, a 2008-born, left handed defenceman, was originally selected by the Kitchener Rangers in the 8th round, 157th overall, of the 2024 OHL Priority Selection. Last season, the Richmond Hill native split time with the Rangers and the London Knights, after being acquired by London midseason.

We believe that James possesses the qualities that we look for in a Peterborough Pete, both on and off the ice.” Buchan, a 2009-born defenceman from Georgetown, ON, attended Petes Training Camp in August as a free agent invite.

A busy offseason brings change across the CHL ahead of the 2026-27 season by the Canadian Hockey League -
By: Dylan Baker New faces are settling into new places as the 2026-27 Canadian Hockey League (CHL) season comes into focus, with training camps opening across the Western Hockey League (WHL), Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL).

Three Former OHL Players Advance to NHL Officiating System -
The Ontario Hockey League is pleased to congratulate officials Nick Isaacson, Hayden Verbeek and Chris Martenet, who have been hired by the National Hockey League on minor-league officiating contracts for the 2026-27 season. All three arrive in the NHL officiating system after previously playing in the Ontario Hockey League before returning to the league as officials. Isaacson and Martenet were both selected to participate in the 2025 CHL/NHL Officials' Development Camp in St-Hyacinthe, Que. last November, where they worked directly with NHL officiating supervisors through classroom meetings, video review and game assignments. Less than a year later, both have earned the opportunity to advance into the professional officiating ranks. "To have three former OHL players earn NHL officiating contracts is an outstanding accomplishment for Nick, Hayden and Chris, and a proud moment for our program," said OHL Director of Officiating Conrad Haché.

2026 Panthers Prospect Profile: Gracyn Sawchyn -
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
