Every week, the CHL releases a list of the top-10 teams in the league. 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 Week 5 rankings.
The Everett Silvertips continue to show why they are one of the best teams in the CHL. Everett went 2-0-0 this past week, picking up big wins against the Penticton Vees and the Kelowna Rockets. Now with a record of 9-0-1, the Silvertips are on pace for one of the greatest seasons in WHL history.

The Edmonton Oil Kings stay in fifth position after yet another strong week. During their three games, Edmonton went 2-0-1, with their only loss coming in overtime against the Saskatoon Blades. With 49 goals in 12 games this year, this Oil Kings lineup presents challenges for whoever they battle in the WHL.
Jumping up one spot this week is the Prince Albert Raiders. Prince Albert went 1-0-1 this past week as they defeated the Regina Pats before falling in OT to Edmonton. With a record of 7-0-2, Prince Albert is one of two teams (Everett) without a regulation loss this season.
The newest team to join the list is the Prince George Cougars. Prince George has been rolling of late as they outscored their opponents 14-3 in two games this weekend. Currently sitting at the top of the B.C. Division, the Cougars are a deep team that could be in for a big season.
