Throughout the season, we at The Hockey News will be keeping track of which WHL teams are in the rankings, as well as who finishes the year ranked highest. Here is a look at the four WHL teams that made the 2026-27 Week 7 rankings.

The Chiefs (10-1-0-1) saw their five-game win streak snapped in a 4-3 shootout loss to Medicine Hat but extended their overall point streak to six. Owen Martin (9th goal), Tyus Sparks (1G, 1A), and Chase Harrington (two assists, 19 points) led the offense as Spokane built a 3-1 lead before the Tigers rallied.

Cameron Schmidt tallied a goal and an assist across the split to reach a team-leading 17 points, while Caleb Matthews added a two-goal performance against the Wild backed by 23 saves from Cole Prelusky.
