Scouting Reports

OHL:  Kingston (1) @ London (2)

Ben Wilmott is an offensive threat who created a lot of scoring chances on the powerplay against Kingston. He moved around on the powerplay and spent time at both the top of the umbrella and the flank. He understands when to pass and when to shoot, being a play-making and goal-scoring threat. Ben pushes the pace through the neutral zone, pushing defenders back with his speed and work ethic.

WHL:  Wenatchee (1) @ Seattle (4)

Seattle controlled the first and third periods, Wenatchee had some energy and pressure in the second but most of the shots were routine and from the outside. Lots of low battles and wall play in the second in Seattle’s end. Overall Seattle was the better team, they had more dangerous chances. Wenatchee had too many turnovers in their defensive zone in the third and Seattle pounced on the opportunities. The third got pretty chippy following the fourth Seattle goal, however Wenatchee couldn’t get anything going.

WHL:  Seattle (2) @ Penticton (4)

The visiting Seattle Thunderbirds scored two late goals on the Penticton Vees, but it wasn’t enough as they lost 4-2. Special teams were the difference in this game as the Thunderbirds went 0-5 on the power play and gave up a shorthanded goal. Jacob Kvasnicka scored what proved to be the game game winner, his ninth of a season, while Booker Toninato scored his first WHL goal. Vees goaltender AJ Reyelts was again very good in the net with 23 saves.

WHL:  Red Deer (2) @ Moose Jaw (3)

Game was played a lot on the walls and in neutral ice, both teams had some good scoring chances but lots of the shots came from outside. Goalies both played well handling most of the easy stuff. Overtime was exciting to watch with a few good chances both ways before a fallen defenseman lost the puck for a Moose Jaw breakaway that scored the game winner.

WHL:  Kamloops (8) @ Spokane (2)

The visiting Kamloops Blazers scored five straight first period goals and cruised to an 8-2 win over the Spokane Chiefs. Nathan Behm, Kayd Ruedig and Rhett Ravndahl led the way for the Chiefs with two goals each. Ivans Kufterins got the win in goal making 41 stops.

USHL:  Omaha (0) @ Chicago (3)

Neutral Zone was in attendance for this regular season USHL matchup between the Omaha Lancers and the Chicago Steel at Fox Valley Ice Arena. Scoreless for nearly 30 minutes of play, Timothy Kazda (CHI) and Ashton Schultz (CHI) opened the scoring, lighting the lamp just a little over a minute apart together. Kolin Sissons (CHI) would add an empty net goal as Chicago would defeat Omaha by a score of 3-0. Player of the game honors would go to Steel goaltender: Sam Caulfield, who stopped all 38 shots he faced for a shutout.

WHL:  Tri-City (3) @ Lethbridge (4)

Shane Smith is a competitor who works incredibly hard. He is a very well-balanced skater with great leg extension at full speed. Despite how hard he works, his stride remains efficient and looks effortless. With two goals tonight, Shane consistently…

WHL:  Penticton (6) @ Victoria (3)

This game was essentially decided just two minutes into the second period, when Penticton exploded for three unanswered goals in the opening minute. That surge made it 6–1, and although the Royals mounted a late push in the third, the momentum had already swung too far in Penticton’s favor to change the outcome.

WHL:  Prince George (2) @ Portland (6)

The home town Portland Winter Hawks got very good goaltending from Ondrej Stebetak who made 33 saves on 35 shots in a 6-2 win over the Prince George Cougars. The Winter Hawks had five different goal scorers but it was Alex Weiermair leading the way for the with a goal and two assists while Jordan Duguay chipped in with three assists.

OHL:  Brantford (7) @ Flint (0)

Although the 7-0 score might suggest a blowout, this game was tied 0-0 until under 4 minutes left in the second period. Both teams saw chances through the first two periods an the play was back-and forth. Once Brantford opened the scoring, the flood gates opened and they scored one more goal before the end of the second and added 5 more goals in the third period.

QMJHL:  Saint John (6) @ Cape Breton (4)

This high scoring game saw the losing team, Cape Breton, jump out to an early 3-1 lead late in the first period. A costly late penalty from the Eagles combined with four unanswered goals allowed Saint Johns to climb back in the game and secure the win.

OHL:  Saginaw (2) @ Guelph (3)

This entertaining early season game turned into a goaltending duel down the stretch. Shurygin from Saginaw and Jovanovski in the Guelph net traded saves down the stretch and ensured the game went to overtime. Leo Serlin scored in OT to cap the win off for Guelph.

OHL:  Sarnia (3) @ Owen Sound (7)

Sarnia Sting vs. Owen Sound Attack It was an explosion of goals in the first two periods for the Attack, who came out flying against the Sting. Led by a hat-trick from #40 Tristan Delisle and a balanced effort throughout the lineup, Owen Sound took control early and never looked back. The offensive surge powered them to a 7–3 victory, a strong showing on home ice.

WHL:  Lethbridge (0) @ Brandon (7)

Lethbridge @ Brandon, October 25, 2025. This score does not necessarily tell the whole story. The game was even in shots on goal and Lethbridge did have some great chances to score. the difference in this game was goaltending, and Brandon’s execution on their chances and opportunities. The game was broken open in the third with 4 goals for the Wheat Kings to walk to a big win.

WHL:  Kelowna (1) @ Tri-City (3)

This game was pretty scrappy after whistles with many scrums, Tri-City had lots of powerplay time and controlled the pace for the most part with the amount of powerplays. 5 on 5 was relatively even, but both goaltenders played very well and kept this game tight until the end, with Tri-City sealing the game late with an empty net goal.
