Prince Albert Raiders (two Memorial Cup Appearances – 1985 & 2019; one Memorial Cup title – 1985)
Everett Silvertips (seeking their first Memorial Cup appearance in franchise history)
The WHL Championship Series presented by Nutrien will feature the Everett Silvertips and Prince Albert Raiders meeting in the league final for the first time in WHL history. Everett advanced with a four-game sweep of the Penticton Vees, while Prince Albert booked its spot with a six-game victory over the defending WHL Champion Medicine Hat Tigers. Making their third WHL Championship Series appearance — and first since 2018 — the Silvertips are seeking their first Ed Chynoweth Cup and first Memorial Cup appearance in franchise history. Everett enters the final with a 12-1 postseason record after capturing a second straight Scotty Munro Memorial Trophy. The Silvertips have been led by 16-year-old defenceman Landon DuPont (4G-13A in 13 GP), who has recorded 17 points in 13 playoff games, along with 2026 NHL Draft prospect Matias Vanhanen (10G-9A in 13 GP) and Seattle Kraken prospect Julius Miettinen (10G-8A in 13 GP), who are tied atop the 2026 WHL Playoffs goal-scoring race. Prince Albert, meanwhile, returns to the WHL Championship Series for the first time since 2019, when it captured its second Ed Chynoweth Cup. The Raiders are led by 2026 NHL Draft prospect Daxon Rudolph (9G-14A in 15 GP), whose 23 points lead all WHL skaters this postseason, alongside Vancouver Canucks prospect Braeden Cootes (6G-12A in 15 GP) and goaltender Michal Orsulak, who is ranked second among North American goaltenders by NHL Central Scouting ahead of the 2026 NHL Draft. Having won WHL titles in each of their previous two Championship Series appearances, the Raiders are chasing a third Ed Chynoweth Cup and third Memorial Cup berth in franchise history.

The OHL Championship Series presented by Nissan will see the Barrie Colts and Kitchener Rangers meet for the right to hoist the J. Ross Robertson Cup. Back in the league final for the first time since 2013, Barrie advanced after rallying from a 3-1 series deficit against the Brantford Bulldogs in the Eastern Conference Final, capped by a 5-0 Game 7 victory to capture the Bobby Orr Trophy. The Colts have been led by 20-year-old goaltender Ben Hrebik, who stopped 128 of 134 shots over the final three games of the Eastern Conference Final, along with New York Islanders prospect Kashawn Aitcheson (6G-17A in 15 GP), the 2025-26 OHL Defenceman of the Year, Utah Mammoth prospect and captain Cole Beaudoin (10G-19A in 15 GP), and Dallas Stars prospect Emil Hemming (12G-12A in 17 GP), who has added 12 goals and 24 points this postseason. Kitchener returns to the OHL Championship Series for the first time since 2008, when the Rangers captured both the Wayne Gretzky Trophy and J. Ross Robertson Cup before advancing to the Memorial Cup. Entering the final with a 12-2 playoff record, the Rangers are powered by Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Sam O’Reilly (14G-8A in 14 GP), the 2025-26 Red Tilson Trophy winner who is appearing in his fourth straight OHL Final, along with Chicago Blackhawks prospect Jack Pridham (2G-14A in 14 GP), the OHL’s Overage Player of the Year, captain and Nashville Predators first-round pick Cameron Reid (2G-9A in 14 GP), Colorado Avalanche prospect Christian Humphreys (7G-12A in 14 GP), and a deep group that includes 12 NHL-drafted players.

2026 QMJHL Championship Series presented by Proxi
Gilles-Courteau Trophy
Chicoutimi Saguenéens (three Memorial Cup appearances – 1991, 1994 & 1997)
Moncton Wildcats (three Memorial Cup appearances – 2006, 2010 & 2025)
The QMJHL Championship Series presented by Proxi will feature the league’s top two regular-season clubs, as the QMJHL defending champion Moncton Wildcats face the Chicoutimi Saguenéens for the Gilles-Courteau Trophy. Back in the QMJHL final for a second straight year, Moncton advanced with a 6-2 Game 7 victory over the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada and is seeking to become the first team to repeat as QMJHL champion since the Saint John Sea Dogs in 2012. The Wildcats, who captured a second straight Jean-Rougeau Trophy after a 104-point regular season, have been led this postseason by Utah Mammoth prospect Gabe Smith (14G-10A in 15 GP), who tops all QMJHL playoff skaters with 24 points and 14 goals in 15 games, along with Utah Mammoth prospect Caleb Desnoyers (5G-13A in 15 GP), top 2026 NHL Draft prospect Tommy Bleyl (6G-16A in 15 GP), and Detroit Red Wings prospect Rudy Guimond, the QMJHL’s Goaltender of the Year. Chicoutimi returns to the QMJHL Championship Series for the first time since 1997 after defeating the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in six games. The Saguenéens finished just one point behind Moncton during the regular season and enter the final after capturing both the Luc-Robitaille Trophy as the QMJHL’s top offensive club and the Robert-Lebel Trophy as its top defensive team. Led by Anaheim Ducks prospect Maxim Massé (6G-14A in 14 GP), the QMJHL MVP and regular-season scoring champion, along with Nashville Predators prospect Alex Huang (2G-10A in 14 GP) and Ottawa Senators prospect Lucas Beckman in goal, Chicoutimi is chasing its third Gilles-Courteau Trophy and first since 1994, while Moncton is seeking its fourth QMJHL title and second in as many seasons.
The TSN telecast team will feature Matt Cullen on play-by-play, bringing extensive junior and professional hockey broadcast experience that includes TSN’s regional Ottawa Senators coverage, OHL action with the Mississauga/Brampton Steelheads, and multiple Olympic assignments with CBC. Cullen will be joined by analyst Jon Goyens, a former QMJHL head coach with the Cape Breton Eagles and Baie-Comeau Drakkar who brings more than 25 years of coaching experience, while Eastlink Community TV sportscaster and sports producer Mavs Gillis, a familiar presence across QMJHL coverage in Atlantic Canada, will serve as rinkside reporter.
