[McKeen's Hockey @mckeenshockey]

Still holding down the top spot

Gavin McKenna remains #1 in our latest 2026 NHL Draft rankings, continuing to separate himself while adding new layers to his game.

After a strong finish to the year in the NCAA, McKenna showed growth in key areas scouts wanted to see, including his off-puck play and consistency in physical engagement. The offensive talent has always been there, but his all-around game continues to round out 🔥

Watch the full breakdown from @kyle_nw @BrockOtten and @Derek_N_NHL

[Kyle Watson @kyle_nw]

Mammoth prospect Gabe Smith is looking like a terrific value pick for Utah (103rd overall, 2024 draft).

His totals over the last two postseasons in Moncton:

19-14—33 PTS in 21 GP (‘26)
6-16—22 PTS in 19 GP (‘25)

[QMJHL @QMJHL]

His 19 goals and his 33 points made the difference.

Gabe Smith wins the Guy-Lafleur Trophy, awarded to the 2026 QMJHL Playoffs MVP! 🏆 @monctonwildcats

The longest active championship drought in QMJHL comes to an end.

Chicoutimi is the final entry to punch their ticket to the Memorial Cup, joining Kitchener, Everett & Kelowna.

Finn-tastic Julius Miettinen joins some rare company after his #WHLChampionship MVP! 🇫🇮

#CHLStats | #SeaKraken

[Christopher Séguin @chrisseguin_]

Down 4-0 through the opening 35 minutes, the @SagueneensLHJMQ stormed back with six unanswered goals — including five in an eight-minute span in the 3rd — before Latvian defenceman Peteris Bulans completed his first career @QMJHL hat-trick with the eventual winner.

After a wild Game 5, Chicoutimi heads home with a 3-2 series lead and a chance to capture its first QMJHL title since 1994 at Centre Georges-Vézina on Sunday.

Most points by a D-1 in WHL Playoff history.

[Kyle Watson @kyle_nw]

Daxon Rudolph finishes the WHL playoffs with 9G, 18A and 27 points in 20 games, tied with Julius Miettinen for the postseason scoring lead.

That's the most by a draft-eligible defenceman since 1986, and third-most all-time.

[Kyle Watson @kyle_nw]

DuPont is also just the second CHL exceptional status talent after Joe Veleno (QMJHL Sant John) to win their respective league championship.

[Kyle Watson @kyle_nw]

DuPont becomes the first WHL player granted exceptional status to win the Ed Chynoweth Cup.

His 23 PTS in 18 playoff contests are the eighth most by a DY-1 player in league history.
