2025/26 WHL Season thread

[Roof-Daddy]

Tigers now in 1st place in the eastern conference. 3rd in points percentage though.

Imagine if they still had McKenna, Lindstrom and Ritchie.

Rockets 15-10-4

Memorial cup hosts.

WHL is really gonna have to pull together and help them build a team that isn't going to get embarrassed in that tournament.

Great call CHL.

Pickford leads the WHL in goals now with 24. He's a Dman

Taken one pick after the Flames took Maceo Phillips.

Flames drafting has been on point lately, but they may have dropped rhe ball on that one. Time will tell.

Yeah, I know nothing about Phillips, but the Flames have had plenty of opportunities to see Pickford in person and to determine what he brings to the table.

Brandon has won 6 in a row following a 4-2 win over the Edmonton Oil Kings tonight. They are a team that looks to have a strong 2nd half of the season.

The Hitmen have picked up Julien Maze from Regina for a couple of picks.

Good addition for a team that, often, struggles to score goals.

The Hitmen have also traded Brandon Gorzynski to PA for Ty Meunier and 2 picks.

This is pretty strange...Almost reads like the player either wanted to be moved or the coaches thought it was best to move him.

The Hitmen scored 9 goals again tonight in a 9-2 win over the lowly Broncos, who have now lost 12 in a row.

Tigers go into the Xmas break with a 7-3 win over the Brandon Wheat Kings. That's 10 wins a row for the Tabbies.

IMO, they are the best team in the conference.

They still need to add at least one more bonafide scoring threat up front prior to or at the trade deadline. The Ruck twins and Davidson have fine chemistry, but WillieD needs to add someone that will mesh with SGC. Might want to add another defenseman as well as you never know when injuries might crop up.

It'll be interesting to see what the Tigers add.

I was told the owners were not happy with Willie last year when he sent a pick and two 17 year olds to Saskatoon for two 19 year olds in Molendyk and Volotovskii. Like, really not happy.

Of course, we all know how that turned out as far as last season went, and now here we are the following season not missing Harsanyi or Kachkowski in the slightest either.

If Willie can repeat as WHL champs after losing what he lost the owners should build him a statue outside of Co-op place.

It would be well deserved and appropriate yet at the same time kind of funny because WillieD is never stationary lol
