Every week, the CHL releases a list of the top-10 teams in the league. Throughout the season, we at The Hockey News [https://thehockeynews.com/whl] 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 9 rankings. PRINCE ALBERT RAIDERS- 2ND We have new kings of the WHL as the Prince Albert Raiders jump from fifth to second in this week's rankings. This past week, Prince Albert went 3-0-1, which included an impressive 4-1 victory over the Everett Silvertips. Prince Albert is running away with the division lead at this point, as they are 15-1-4-0 on the season.

Everett went 2-1-1 over the last week while picking up their second shutout of the year. Now with a 17-2-2-1 record on the season, it will be hard for any team to catch the Silvertips for first place in the West. EDMONTON OIL KINGS- 4TH The Edmonton Oil Kings are the definition of unbeatable. Edmonton has won its last eight games, which includes three this past week. The Oil Kings sit atop the Eastern Conference and already have built up a 10-point lead in their division. CALGARY HITMEN- 9TH The Calgary Hitmen are having an underrated season. While they did pick up a loss this week, Calgary is still an impressive 12-5-2-0 on the year. Overall, the Hitmen have built a solid lineup that can cause matchup issues with any team in the WHL. 2025-26 RANKINGS LIST: Edmonton Oil Kings: 10 Times, Highest Rank- 3rd Everett Silvertips: Nine Times, Highest Rank- 2nd Prince Albert Raiders: Six Time, Highest Rank- 2nd Spokane Chiefs: Five Times, Highest Rank- 3rd Kelowna Rockets: Four Times, Highest Rank- 8th Calgary Hitmen: Three Time, Highest Rank- 9th Prince George Cougars: One Time, Highest Rank- 10th Make sure you bookmark THN's WHL site and add us to your favourites on Google News [https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqBwgKMK-q0gsw7sXpAw?hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA%3Aen] for the latest news, exclusive interviews, breakdowns, and so much more.
