2026 NHL Entry Draft: Top Prospects -
With the Winnipeg Jets’ 2025-26 NHL season over and a mere 17 days until the Draft Lottery will take place, the True North fanbase will be turning their attention to fantasizing about which prospect the General Manager will be able to select with their high 1st round pick. To assist with these dreams of better times, I thought I would spend some time trying to sort out who might be available to become the next future Jets’ star. Of course, this will be far from an accurate prediction since we don’t even know where exactly Winnipeg will get their chance yet….as well as the fact that even the experts are having a difficult time deciding on the rankings for the next crop of prospects. So what chance does a random fan like me have? Well, that won’t stop me for moving on with my plan regardless….because I am not concerned about accuracy, rather focusing on the possibilities. Lets get started by first looking at the odds for the upcoming L

A campaign of firsts will continue for the Penticton Vees. The expansion club will take on the Prince George Cougars in the second round of the 2026 WHL Playoffs.

The claws are out. With a 5-3 win in Game 6 of their first-round series, the Prince George Cougars have eliminated the Spokane Chiefs from the 2026 WHL Playoffs.

NHL Draft-eligible Dmitri Yakutsenak scored the first of his two goals on the night to send the teams to the dressing room tied at one. Twenty-year-old Kooper Gizowski came in clutch again with a powerplay one-timer to give the Cats their first lead of the night, though Martin would add his team-leading fifth goal of the series to keep things tied at 2-2. Rookie Riley Ashe came in clutch as he barrelled down the ice on a two-on-one with Koy Funk and ripped a wrister for his first WHL playoff goal. Yakutsenak clinched the series-winner with his second goal of the night, while Washington Capitals prospect Terik Parascak added some insurance with an empty

SERIES PREVIEW: (8) Portland Winterhawks vs. (1) Everett Silvertips -
Is this the year the Everett Silvertips change the narrative? The back-to-back Scotty Munro Memorial Trophy winners have long dominated the regular season and never missed the postseason since joining the WHL back in 2003-04. But for all the success and accolades the Silvertips have enjoyed, they've yet to lift the Ed Chynoweth Cup as WHL Champions. Now, fresh off a 57-win regular season, the Tips will seek revenge against the very team that doused their title hopes in 2025- the Portland Winterhawks. Portland, while entering as the eighth seed, has qualified for the posteason every year since 2009, a remarkable run that includes winning it all in 2013 and five trips to the Championship Series. The Hawks downed the Silvertips in six games in 2025 to move on to the Western Conference Championship, and, despite their underdog status in 2025-26, managed to split the regular season series against their rivals (though two of their wins came in overtime and a shootout).

No team has repeated as WHL Champions since the dynastic Kamloops Blazers went back-to-back in 1994 and 1995. But the Medicine Hat Tigers would sure like to join them. After picking up the club's sixth Ed Chynoweth Cup win and a trip to the Memorial Cup Final, the Tigers clawed out a, somehow, even stronger regular season than the 2024-25 edition of the team. Medicine Hat rolls into the postseason as the WHL's top scoring team with 348 goals in 68 contests, with a 38-goal dropoff to the second-place team- the East Division champion Prince Albert Raiders. Eight Tigers have surpassed 20 goals, headlined by Bob Clarke Trophy winner Markus Ruck, who led the league with a 108-point (21G-87A) campaign. His twin brother, Liam, was just behind with 45 goals and 104 points. The duo has garnered considerable attention with their stock climbing ahead of the 2026 NHL Draft, but there's star power to be found up and down the Cats' lineup.

SERIES PREVIEW: (6) Spokane Chiefs vs (3) Prince George Cougars -
Start your engines! For the second time in three seasons, the Prince George Cougars and Spokane Chiefs are set to battle in Round One of the 2026 WHL Playoffs. Just a handful of players remain from those teams, but they all come in with much to prove and high expectations on their shoulders. The Spokane Chiefs look to mount another deep run after battling all the way to the 2025 WHL Championship Series, while the Prince George Cougars look to convert years of regular-season success to playoff glory. Prince George is coming off a third straight season with 30 or more wins with a deep roster that features six players with 20 or more goals, including Washington Capitals first-rounder Terik Parascak, top 2026 NHL Draft defensive prospect Carson Carels, and waiver pickup Kooper Gizowski. The Cougars have iced some of the WHL's best special teams, with Gizowski sitting second in the league in powerplay goals (17) and Carels ranking third in powerplay assists (27).

The Thunderbirds have got that dog in them. Seattle punched its ticket to the 2026 WHL Playoffs with a 2-1 Victoria Royals loss to the Prince George Cougars on Saturday night. The T-Birds are currently deadlocked in a 3-3 battle against the rival Portland Winterhawks- a match that could still impact playoff seeding. Seattle's attack is led by one of the most dominant forces in the league. The 2023 WHL Champs acquired Dallas Stars prospect Cameron Schmidt from the Vancouver Giants at the 2026 WHL Trade Deadline in exchange for Kaleb Hartmann and a haul of draft picks. Schmidt, 19, leads all WHLers with 45 goals and sits third in the league points race with 94 (45G-49A). Five Thunderbirds have surpassed 20 goals, including Coster Dunn, Antonio Martorano, Matej Pekar and top rookie Brock England.
