TORONTO, ON - The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) announced today the Week 17 edition of its CHL Top-10 Rankings for the 2023-24 season.

For the second time in three weeks, the Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League (WHL) find themselves in the top spot. Dating back to November 24, the Blades have earned a point in 23 of their last 24 games, with 18 victories over that stretch. In second place, we find the Baie-Comeau Drakkar of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), who continue to hold the highest point percentage (.830) in the CHL. Meanwhile, the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) have cracked the top three for the first time this season, as they jump up to No. 3. Powered by a seven-game winning streak, the Spirit and 2024 Memorial Cup presented by Dow hosts now lead the OHL with 32 wins, and their 28 victories in 33 games since November 3 are the most of any club in the CHL.

Among some of the notable risers in this week's rankings were the Drummondville Voltigeurs of the QMJHL, who find themselves in fifth after notching points in 14 straight games (13-0-1-0). Right behind them at No.6 is the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL, who climbed into first place in the WHL's Western Conference thanks to three straight wins last week. Additionally, amid a current five-game winning streak, the Soo Greyhounds of the OHL are back in the CHL Top-10 rankings at No. 9 after a two-week absence.

The next rankings will be released the week of February 5, following the 18th week of regular season action in all three member leagues of the CHL.
