March 26, 2024 - Western Hockey League (WHL) News Release


TORONTO, ON - The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) announced today the Week 25 and final edition of its CHL Top-10 Rankings for the 2023-24 season.

Heading into the playoffs on a 19-game point streak (17-0-1-1), the longest active point streak in the CHL, the Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League (WHL) closed out the season as the No.1-ranked team in the CHL. The Cougars finished the 2023-24 campaign with a +129 goal differential, which ranked as the best of any club in the CHL this season. Right behind them is the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), who won their two games last week to earn the Hamilton Spectator Trophy as the OHL Regular Season Champions. It marked the seventh time in club history that the Knights have earned this distinction and the first time in 11 years. Finally, rounding out the top three was the Saginaw Spirit of the OHL, who posted their first 50-win and 100-point campaign in franchise history as they prepare to host the 2024 Memorial Cup presented by Dow at the end of May.

The highest-ranked team from the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) was the No.4-ranked Baie-Comeau Drakkar, who led all CHL clubs with 53 wins this season and were one of four teams across the CHL to top 50 wins. Another club to achieve the latter was the No.6-ranked Saskatoon Blades of the WHL, who along with the Drakkar, gave up the fewest amount of goals in the CHL this season - as both allowed an average of 2.40 goals per game. The Drakkar and the Blades also finished the year as the regular season champions of the QMJHL and WHL, respectively.
