A look at which team currently holds the 2026-27 WHL In-Season Cup.
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 In-Season Cup changed hands not once, not twice, but three times this week. After starting the week with the Lethbridge Hurricanes, the Cup transferred to the Victoria Royals and then to the Red Deer Rebels. The In-Season Cup finished the week with the Calgary Hitmen, who head into Week 6 with it.
Calgary will be busy this week as they must defend the In-Season Cup four times. They start the week on Wednesday against the Penticton Vees before battling the Medicine Hat Tigers on Friday. The Hitmen also face the Tigers on Saturday and wrap up their week on Sunday versus the Saskatoon Blades.
