Prince George Cougars

Virtually all avenues are open to the San Jose Sharks with the second overall pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, but as they told Spiderman, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Despite the fact that General Manager Mike Grier can select virtually anyone with this draft pick, there are only a handful of players that truly stand out as qualified to be selected with the second overall pick. Everyone is assuming that the Toronto Maple Leafs will select Gavin McKenna at number one overall. He’s the player most people have at first on their draft boards, or at the very least near the top. The Athletic compiled a consensus draft board that looked at the draft board from its top prospect guys, Scott Wheeler and Corey Pronman, as well as Chris Peters from FloHockey, TSN’s Craig Button and SportsNet’s Jason Bukala

Spokane Chiefs Chase Harrington comes by his hardworking game honestly. When the going gets tough, he thinks of the long hours his dad, Daryl, has put in on construction sites across B.C.'s Lower Mainland. "Obviously, I'm not working full time, but just watching him, like, he gets up every day at 5:00 a.m., gets home at 7:00 p.m.," Harrington said. "Just a big inspiration for me, the work that he puts in is just like, 'Yeah, why can't I do that in hockey?" Harrington spends summers with Daryl on the job site as well, but he's adding just as many new tools to his belt on the ice. The 6'0.75, 202-pound winger is coming off a career-best 57-point (28G-29A) campaign with the Spokane Chiefs and is trending up ahead of the 2026 NHL Draft. "After Christmas, I really think he took off," Spokane Chiefs Head Coach Brad Lauer said. "I think the way he matured as an individual, I really thought his game matured along with him.

Carson Carels is a man of two worlds. On Tuesday, June 9, the Prince George Cougars alternate captain will be one of six top 2026 NHL Draft prospects in attendance for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, one person amidst a roiling crowd of more than 17,500 ravenous fans enjoying the chilly reprieve of the Golden Knights' T-Mobile Arena in a swath of Nevada heat. The solid left-shot defender will be right at home among that contingent of projected first-round picks, but part of his heart will always be on the sprawling family farm near Cypress River, Man., where the cows outnumber the people and he's a short quad ride away from almost pure isolation. Carels says his goal is to make a name for himself in hockey before, one day long down the road, returning to the place that built him- the place he takes the most pride in. "We have 500 head of cattle that we calve out, so when it's all said and done, we have about 1000 (an

Regina, Sask. — The Regina Pats have signed 2026 first-round pick Fletcher MacDonald to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement. MacDonald made franchise history earlier this month when he was selected ninth overall by the Pats in the 2026 WHL Prospects Draft on May 6, becoming the highest-drafted goaltender in club history. He also became the first goaltender selected by Regina in the first round since Jordan Hollett was chosen 13th overall in 2014. “The Regina Pats organization is very excited to have signed our first-round pick from the 2026 WHL Prospects Draft,” said Regina Pats General Manager Dale Derkatch. “We believe Fletcher has a very bright future ahead of him, and we’re confident he will bring stability to our goaltending position when he becomes a full-time player with the Pats.” The 14-year-old netminder was also the highest-drafted goaltender selected in the WHL Prospects Draft since Taylor Gauthier was taken 10th overall by the Prince George Coug
