With April now in the rearview mirror, the WHL has announced its Players of the Month. Throughout the season, the league selected a Player of the Month, Goaltender of the Month and Rookie of the Month. Here are the three players for April 2026. PLAYERS OF THE MONTH: DAXON RUDOLPH What a month it has been for Prince Albert Raiders defenceman Daxon Rudolph. The 2026 draft prospect picked up 13 points in 10 games, while helping the Raiders clinch a spot in the East Final. Rudolph is currently tied for the playoff lead with 19 points and is a finalist for WHL Defenceman of the Year. GOALTENDER OF THE MONTH: ANDERS MILLER Anders Miller has been virtually unbeatable over the past month. In 10 games, he has recorded nine wins along with a save percentage of .929. Thanks to Miller's play, the Everett Silvertips have clinched a spot in the WHL Final and have posted an overall record of 12-1 in the playoffs. ROOKIE OF THE MONTH: MATIAS VANHANEN Matias Vanhanen's draft stock continue to rise as the Finnish forward is currently dominating the WHL. In 10 games this month, the 18-year-old scored seven times while recording 14 points. If Vanhanen can keep up this production, the Everett Silvertips could be looking at their first Memorial Cup bid in franchise history.
