TORONTO, ON – The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) today unveiled its Week 17 edition of the CHL Top-10 Rankings presented by Delta Hotels by Marriott for the 2025-26 season.
The Chicoutimi Saguenéens (31-6-3-2) held No. 1 for a third straight week on a five-game win streak after sweeping a Maritimes trip (Halifax, Charlottetown, No. 7 Moncton) and improving to 15-1-2-0 over their last 18 since November 30. The Prince Albert Raiders (31-6-4-0) surged three spots to No. 2 after winning three straight – including a statement 8-5 road win that snapped Medicine Hat’s franchise-record 19-game winning streak – while continuing a dominant 14-2-0-0 run dating back to December 6, led by Tempo WHL Player of the Week Daxon Rudolph’s six-point week. At No. 3, the Brantford Bulldogs (30-7-5-1) stayed steady after taking five of six points, setting a franchise mark for the fastest to 30 wins, and extending their post-World Juniors momentum into a six-game point streak (5-0-1-0) with Marek Vanacker hitting 30 goals and Caleb Malhotra remaining among the OHL’s scoring leaders.
This week’s biggest movers were led by a pair of WHL surges and an OHL debutant. The Medicine Hat Tigers (31-7-3-2) climbed to a season-best No. 5 after extending their franchise-record win streak to 19 with back-to-back wins over No. 6 Edmonton before it was halted by No. 2 Prince Albert, yet they still boast a sizzling 21-1-1-1 run over their last 24 behind Markus Ruck, Jonas Woo, and CHL co-goals leader Bryce Pickford (33). The Penticton Vees (26-9-4-3) rose to No. 9 by pushing their winning streak to 11 and improving to 15-1-1-0 since early December, driven by Jacob Kvasnicka’s points in 10 of his last 11 and Ryden Evers’ overtime winner. And at No. 10, the Barrie Colts (28-10-2-4) made their first appearance of the season on the back of the OHL’s longest active point streak (9-0-1-0) and a perfect week, powered by Cole Beaudoin, Kashawn Aitcheson, and Emil Hemming, who each recorded five points.
