2026-27 WHL In-Season Cup: Week 7 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 Week 7 of the season. 

For the second time this season, the Red Deer Rebels hold the In-Season Cup. Red Deer claimed the trophy on Friday after defeating the Calgary Hitmen 5-2. The Rebels have also already defended the In-Season Cup once, as they picked up a 3-2 overtime win over the Edmonton Oil Kings on Sunday. 

Red Deer will have a tough week as they need to defend the In-Season Cup three times. On Tuesday, they battle the Kamloops Blazers while on Friday, the Rebels take on the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Red Deer wraps up their week on Saturday with a matchup against the Prince Albert Raiders.
