Last Time Out

Portland opened the scoring just over 11 minutes in as Griffin Darby netted the first goal of his WHL career off a shot from Alessandro Domenichelli. Victoria answered with two goals, including a power-play tally, to take a 2-1 lead.

The Winterhawks responded quickly, as Ryan Miller set up Alex Weiermair for a one-timer to tie it, then found Jordan Duguay on the man advantage late in the period to give Portland a 3-2 lead after one.

Victoria evened the score early in the second on Cruz Waltze's second of the season, but Luke Wilfley restored the Hawks' lead with a wrist shot to make it 4-3 heading into the third.

Ludovic Perreault scored his second power-play goal of the night to tie it again, forcing overtime. After a scoreless extra frame, Victoria converted in the shootout to earn the win in Portland.

Chiefs Chat

The Winterhawks and Chiefs meet tonight at the Glass Palace for the fifth of six matchups this season, with Portland searching for its first win against Spokane. In the most recent meeting, the Chiefs skated away with a decisive 6-2 victory in Portland on January 19.

Spokane enters the weekend with a 25-25-1-0 record, and tonight's contest carries significant weight with just four points separating the two teams in the Western Conference standings. The Chiefs sit ninth with 51 points, right behind Victoria in the eighth and final playoff spot with 52.

Tyus Sparks and Logan Wormald pace Spokane offensively, each with 49 points. Sparks has posted 23 goals and 26 assists, while Wormald has added 18 goals and 31 assists, forming a dangerous duo that also anchors the Chiefs' power-play unit.

Hawks Fight Cancer

The Portland Winterhawks are teaming up with Sunset High School, along with several charities and cancer research organizations, to support the fight against cancer.

Our annual Hawks Fight Cancer game takes place Friday, February 13 at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, as the Hawks face off against the Spokane Chiefs at 7 p.m.

Be sure to stop by the Team Store to purchase a limited-edition Hawks Fight Cancer t-shirt, with a portion of proceeds benefiting our incredible partners. Fans can also visit partner tables on the concourse to learn more about ways to encourage, support, and FIGHT.

As you enter the arena, don't forget to pick up a customizable "I Fight For" sign. We'll share special moments throughout the game to honor loved ones and those bravely battling cancer.

Your donations will directly support Pediatric Cancer Research and will be sent to Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Click this link to donate to the fight: pdxhwk.us/DonationHFC26

Join us as we come together as a community in the fight against cancer!

Cuts for a Cure

Tonight is bigger than hockey for Winterhawks forward Nathan Brown, as he skates in support of Cuts for a Cure.

Brown has agreed to let Winterhawks fans decide his next haircut, with each donation level unlocking a new style. The more money raised, the more dramatic the haircut becomes!

Nathan will head straight off the ice and get the cut live in the arena from The Barbers, so you won't want to miss it.

Be sure to donate and help us reach our goal of $5,000 while supporting Hawks Fight Cancer Night.

Hawks on the World Stage

The Winterhawks are proud to lead the Canadian Hockey League with seven former players competing for gold in men's ice hockey at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games (Feb. 11-22).

Nino Niederreiter (SUI), Oliver Bjorkstrand (DEN), Rihard Bukarts (LAT), Henri Jokiharju (FIN), Joachim Blichfeld (DEN), Seth Jarvis (CAN), and Simon Knak (SUI) all began their careers in Portland between 2009 and 2021, and will represent their countries, with five set to make their Olympic debuts.

Portland outpaces every club in the CHL; Kitchener and Sudbury (both in the Ontario Hockey League) follow with six alumni heading to Italy, while Halifax (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League) sent five.

In the WHL specifically, the Winterhawks stand alone. Portland has three more Olympic alumni than any other team. The Medicine Hat Tigers are second with four, and four other teams are tied for third with three. In total, 32 WHL alumni will compete in the Winter Games.

Protector of the Week

After a dominant week in net for Portland, goaltender Ondrej Štěbeták was named the CHL Protector of the Week, presented by CDIC Honours. The Czechia native stood tall between the pipes, backstopping the Winterhawks to three valuable wins with 115 saves across the week.

Light Show Experience

We have introduced a new smartphone light show experience this season, powered by CUE's "Light Show" platform.

Make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the Winterhawks App, click on the Lightshow button, enable/accept the permissions, and be ready to join in the fun starting with the team's intro video before the Hawks take the ice!

Fans will be able to sync their phone screens and flashlights to the in-arena presentation, turning the entire crowd into part of the show during key moments like player intros and intermissions. The result? An immersive, high-energy environment where your phone becomes a spotlight and you're actively part of the spectacle.
