Draft Day is here once again! Are we going to see 10?!?! WHL players taken in the first round. As always, be sure to grab our guide at @FCHockey for some last minute research. The following is my personal #2025NHLDraft rankings for the Western Region.

Oh my god. Mikko Rantanen just went spin-cycle, backhand, top-shelf. Filthy. 4-2, Stars. #TexasHockey

Despite a difficult 2025 WHL Cup for Team Saskatchewan, plenty of strong individual performances were delivered at the event. @DMaz16 has detailed player evaluations for 9 skaters who were bright spots and worth keeping an eye on moving forward👇 🔗 https://t.co/107DRFcB0g

RALPH STRANGIS IS ACTIVELY CALLING A STARS GAME

Up next in our coverage of the Bauer Bantam Elite tournament, @DMaz16 has evaluations for 14 2026 WHL Draft eligible skaters from the Nexus Pool, which featured a pair of CSSHL clubs, Yale Academy and Pacific Coast Hockey Academy. 🔗 https://t.co/wqNCid7JBB

November 11, the most unforgettable day of the year. Today, we pause to honour those who have served and continue to serve for peace and freedom – at home and around the world.   #CanadaRemembers

Sawchyn was my top ranked WHL player to go undrafted last year. He should not go undrafted this year...

Red Deer has struggled to start the year and as a result I think Beckett Hamilton is flying under the radar a bit when it comes to the #2026NHLDraft conversation. He's been excellent to start the year. Playing in all situations as a complete, two-way catalyst for the Rebels.

Yamamoto was super human but it feels like the wrong team won

Eric Lauer appreciation tweet 👏 4.2 SCORELESS innings out of the bullpen! #WANTITALL

Manitoba claims the #WHLCup Gold after a 6-1 victory over BC. They were led offensively by first round pick Athens Shingoose who had 6 goals and 6 assists over the five games.

What a game from Penticton draft pick Jack Utsunomiya to steal one for team BC. 42 saves in the 2-1 victory including some big ones down a man to end the game. Alberta will surprisingly play for a Bronze medal tomorrow. #WHLCup

THE BARGE 🚢 #WANTITALL

Wouldn’t say it matches the last World Series game played in this building, but it made a hell of an impression. What a night in Toronto.

There are going to be some teams at the top of the draft that really regret passing on Cruz Jim. He's such a catalyst from the back end, creating chance after chance out of thin air. He's making those around look better. #WHLCup
