Bryce Pickford, a 2025 third-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens, sits one goal back of Cameron Schmidt for the WHL lead with 42. His 78 points ranks well within the top-10 among all WHL skaters. He’s a defenceman.
Worth noting: Jonas Woo (Jett’s brother), his teammate in Medicine Hat, actually has more with 80 points — also as a defenceman — and is re-eligible for this year’s draft.
That's in addition to the Ruck twins, who sit at the top of the league with 94 points. What's in the water over @tigershockey.
Impressed with how the CHLers look compared to the NCAA Players for Canada. Just in terms of I have no clue how strong of a league the CHL is anymore, clearly hasn’t changed at all, maybe even a bit stronger.
Couldn’t agree more here.. it’s the new shiny thing and kids are nieve. Lots of players that aren’t ready to be at that level are leaving simply cause they don’t want to look worse for not going.
Eventually the top guys will go and stick at 18 and those others will wait a year.
@Ken_Campbell27@JonKeenNLSports@TheHockeyNews Says the guy that likely used his “freelance badge” to get a free ticket. Your point leads to sponsors and fans paying more. I’m both and it won’t happen.
@mark_scheig Why is about “which school he picks”, why wouldn’t he play junior hockey in Medicine Hat? We have a championship calibre team, plus this player that might be good, in Gavin McKenna. He could have gone the college route prior to coming to MH, but chose CHL hockey
@LanceDoll@tigershockey@JChristianson15 When the crowd chants “ref you suck!” which member of the coaching staff is most likely to join in? ( if they could obviously)
@BARTOmedia No point in making a deal. 2 16s on the d, bringing in a guy takes away from them. Forwards, we can score, adding again takes away from younger guys
