2026-27 WHL In-Season Cup: Week 4 Update

The new addition to the 2026-27 WHL campaign is the In-Season Cup. This league-wide tournament started the campaign with the Everett Silvertips and will transfer to whichever team beats them first. The "Cup" will keep transferring until the end of the year, when the team holding it will be declared champion. Here is an update after the second week of the season. 

The WHL In-Season Cup is headed to the Eastern Conference. Thanks to a win on Friday night over the Spokane Chiefs, the Lethbridge Hurricanes hold the inaugural trophy at the end of Week 4. The Hurricanes have already defended the Cup once, as they defeated the Wenatchee Wild on Saturday night. 

Lethbridge is in for a busy few days as they play three times this week. The Hurricanes will defend the Cup on Wednesday against the Victoria Royals, Friday against the Calgary Hitmen and Saturday against the Edmonton Oil Kings. Overall, it is a tough slate of games, which could result in another transfer of the In-Season Cup.
