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.

Kelowna, B.C.- Landon DuPont is a guy built for the spotlight. The beams fuelled by his hockey peers, fans, pundits and NHL brass will burn brighter than ever as the freshly-turned 17-year-old hits the ice in the Memorial Cup Final with the Everett Silvertips on Sunday. "No butterflies, just excitement," DuPont said of the opportunity ahead. "It's cool playing at such a stage like this in such a big tournament like this. I remember being five up until last year, just watching the Memorial Cup, wishing I could play there one day. Being here, it's truly surreal." The WHL's first exceptional-status defender will need to bring his 'A' game against the OHL Champion Kitchener Rangers, who are competing in their CHL-record seventh Memorial Cup title match. The Blueshirts dished the Silvertips a 6-2 loss in round-robin play, with DuPont picking up a lone assist on a powerplay goal. For a team that tallied 57 regular-season victories and went 16-1-1 in the WHL Playoffs, Ev

The WHL Playoff MVP award is presented to a player deemed to have made the strongest contribution to his Club throughout the WHL Playoffs, as voted by members of the media. The prospect of the Seattle Kraken is the first Finnish-born player to earn WHL Playoff MVP honours, and only the second import player to accomplish the feat, following former Kelowna Rockets star Leon Draisaitl, who made history in 2014.

The Silvertips had previously appeared in two WHL Championships, including during the team’s expansion season (2003-04) and most recently in 2017-18.
