Standouts From Week 5 Of The 2026-27 WHL Season

Welcome to THN's "WHL Standouts Of The Week" article. In this weekly column, we highlight one player from each division who impressed over the last week. Here are four standouts from Week 4 of the 2026-27 season.

Burke Hood has developed into one of the top goaltenders in the WHL. The Vancouver Giants goalie went 2-0-0 this week while stopping 79 of the 81 shots he faced. Hood is now 4-1-0-1 on the campaign and sits with a save percentage of .946. 

Jensen Marsh was a goal-scoring machine this week. The Edmonton Oil Kings forward scored three times in two games while recording six points. Marsh has already set new career highs in goals and assists despite only playing nine games so far this season. 

What a weekend it was for Owen Matin. The Spokane Chiefs forward scored four times while recording six points in two games. Martin continues to evolve as a player and is a big reason why Spokane remains one of the top teams in the WHL. 

Take a bow, Dylan Mingo. The Moose Jaw Warriors put on a show Saturday night as he stopped 61 of the 64 shots he faced against the Saskatoon Blades. While it did not result in a win, Mingo's performance will go down as one of the best regular-season games by a goaltender in WHL history.
