Canucks Prospect Gabriel Chiarot Will Play For The 2026 Memorial Cup

Sunday could be a historic day for Vancouver Canucks prospect Gabriel Chiarot. The 19-year-old will be headed to the 2026 Memorial Cup Final, where his Kitchener Rangers will battle the Everett Silvertips. Kitchener earned an automatic bye into the Final as they were a perfect 3-0 in the tournament's round-robin. 

Through his first three games of the tournament, Chiarot has scored a goal, recorded two points and fired six shots on net. Initially drafted in the sixth round of the 2025 draft by Vancouver, both of his points in the Memorial Cup came against Everett. During the OHL Playoffs, Chiarot recorded 11 points in 18 games, which included scoring a shorthanded goal in the final game of the post-season. 

The 2026 Memorial Cup Final is scheduled for May 31st at 4:00 pm PT. The OHL has won the last two championships, while the WHL is looking for its first since 2014. Sunday's game from Kelowna will be broadcast on TSN.
