TORONTO, ON – The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) today unveiled its Week 12 edition of the CHL Top-10 Rankings presented by Delta Hotels by Marriott for the 2025-26 season.
The Brantford Bulldogs (21-2-4-1) tightened its grip on top spot for a ninth straight week with wins over Kingston and North Bay, powered by 2026 NHL Draft headliner Caleb Malhotra, the OHL’s Rookie of the Week. The Everett Silvertips (23-3-2-1) stay at No. 2 for the fifth time in six weeks and eighth straight week in the Top 3, riding a perfect 3-0-0-0 run to a CHL-best 23 wins and .845 points percentage. The Edmonton Oil Kings (21-6-2-1) round out the trio, back in the top three for the first time since Week 1 on the strength of a four-game point streak, standout blue-liner Ethan MacKenzie, and World Junior–bound Czech forwards Max Curran and Adam Jecho.
The big movers just behind them come from the QMJHL, where the Moncton Wildcats (19-6-2-1) and Chicoutimi Saguenéens (18-5-2-2) continue to climb. Moncton made the week’s largest jump, up three spots to No. 7—its highest mark of the season—thanks to a nine-game point streak (8-0-0-1), a perfect 3-0-0-0 week, and a QMJHL-leading 19 wins, driven by Videotron Player of the Week Caleb Desnoyers and red-hot goalie Rudy Guimond. Chicoutimi nudged up to No. 5 for its fifth Top-5 appearance in seven weeks, sitting just one win back of Moncton while boasting the league’s best points percentage at .741. With Anaheim Ducks prospect Maxim Massé among the Q’s top scorers and Germany’s World Junior invitee Maxim Schäfer back on the scoresheet, the Saguenéens and Wildcats are emerging as the Q’s heavyweight tandem in the chase pack behind the CHL’s big three.

IceDogs’ Vladislav Yermolenko Named Mary Brown’s Chicken OHL Goaltender of the Week
2026 NHL Draft prospect Vladislav Yermolenko of the Niagara IceDogs is the Mary Brown’s Chicken OHL Goaltender of the Week, going 2-0 with a 1.48 goals-against average and .952 save percentage.
Yermolenko helped the IceDogs end a nine-game losing slide with a pair of wins over the weekend, turning aside 33 shots on Friday night in Brampton as the IceDogs overcame a 2-0 deficit with four goals in the latter half of the third period, beating the Steelheads 4-2. He was back in the crease for a second star performance on Sunday afternoon, making 26 saves as the IceDogs beat the North Bay Battalion 2-1 on a Riley Patterson overtime winner.
Turning 18 next week, Yermolenko has been steady for the IceDogs in his first OHL season, going 8-5-2-1 with a 3.24 goals-against average and .905 save percentage through 18 outings. The 6-foot-1, 176Ib. goaltender from Minsk, Belarus was chosen by Niagara in the second round (87th overall) of the 2025 CHL Import Draft out of the Team Belarus U18 program.
Bulldogs’ Caleb Malhotra Named OHL Rookie of the Week
NHL Draft eligible forward Caleb Malhotra of the Brantford Bulldogs is the OHL Rookie of the Week for the third time this season, recording a goal and four assists in a pair of victories.
Malhotra put forward a first star performance on Wednesday, scoring while adding an assist as the Bulldogs defeated the Kingston Frontenacs 4-2. He provided three assists on Saturday night as Brantford defeated North Bay 7-2, giving him multi-point outputs in four of his last five games.
A 17-year-old from Toronto, Malhotra leads OHL rookie scoring with 37 points (12-25–37) over 27 games with a plus/minus rating of plus-13. The 6-foot-2, 182Ib. centreman is an A-rated prospect by NHL Central Scouting for the 2026 NHL Draft. The Bulldogs acquired Malhotra from the Kingston Frontenacs in Sept. 2024 after he was originally chosen eighth overall by the Fronts in the 2024 OHL Priority Selection. He is committed to Boston University (NCAA), and recently represented the Canadian Hockey League at the 2025 CHL/USA Prospects Challenge.
Rangers Prospect Ian Robinson Named GOHL Prospect of the Week
Kitchener Rangers prospect Ian Robinson of the Port Colborne Sailors is the GOHL Prospect of the Week, recording a goal and five assists over six games last week.
Robinson pitched in with two assists on Friday as the Sailors beat the visiting Welland Jr. Canadians 5-3. He found the scoresheet again on Sunday for a season-high four points (1-3–4) as Port Colborne defeated visiting Caledon 8-3.
A 17-year-old from Newmarket, ON, Robinson leads Port Colborne with 24 points (13-11–24) over 24 games, and is tied for second among GOHL rookie goal-scorers with 13. The 6-foot-4, 206Ib. forward was selected by the Rangers in the third round (51st overall) of the 2025 OHL U18 Priority Selection from the York-Simcoe Express U18 AAA program. He produced 19 points (13-6–19) over 28 games in 2024-25.

At this time last year, Michael Misa was setting the bar sky-high, pacing all draft-eligible players with 48 points in just 24 games. Fast forward to this season, and it’s Pierce Mbuyi carrying the torch, leading the group with 36 points through 29 contests. Still, performances like Misa’s are generational—players of that caliber don’t come along every year.
Looking back to November 2024, Shamar Moses ranked tenth among draft-eligible scorers with 22 points in 24 games. Fast forward to this season, and it’s Cole Zurawski occupying that same position, producing 28 points in 26 contests to edge ahead of last year’s pace.
Last season at this point, Joey Costanzo set the pace among puck stoppers with a .918 save percentage. Fast forward to this year, and the bar has been raised—three different goaltenders are currently posting marks north of .920, underscoring the elevated level of play between the pipes.
Looking back to last season, Matthew Schaefer was limited to just 14 games but still managed 18 points, while Reid Cameron led all defensemen with 22 points in 25 contests. Fast forward to this year, and the pace has picked up—four different blueliners have already surpassed Cameron’s total, though each has logged two or three more games to get there.
This year’s draft class may not feature a headline-grabbing talent like Schaefer or Misa, but what it lacks in star power, it makes up for in depth. Early returns suggest a broader pool of impact players, spreading the spotlight across more names. Still, it’s only December, and in hockey, fortunes can shift fast.
Here is a look at the statistical leaders at the end of November.
