Oasiz Wiesblatt Named Tempo WHL Player of the Week

March 31, 2025 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Medicine Hat Tigers News Release


Calgary, Alta. - Medicine Hat Tigers Captain Oasiz Wiesblatt has been named Tempo WHL Player of the Week for the week ending Sunday, March 30, 2025, the Western Hockey League announced Monday.

The veteran forward netted five goals and an assist to help the Tigers take a commanding 2-0 series lead against the Swift Current Broncos in Round One of the 2025 WHL Playoffs presented by Nutrien.

Wiesblatt potted his first playoff hat trick in a 4-0 shutout of the Broncos in Game 1 on Friday, March 28. The wily centreman was left unattended on the backdoor of the Swift Current net to redirect a Gavin McKenna pass just over two minutes into the game. He doubled the lead in the middle frame after the Broncos turned the puck over in their own end and Wiesblatt showed off his handles as he deked netminder Reid Dyck on a point-blank opportunity. He capped off the natural hat trick in the third period with a one-timer off a Liam Ruck no-look pass with 10 minutes left. The Calgary, Alta. product was named second star of the night with the statement victory.

The 20-year-old continued to pile up the points as the Tigers doubled up the Broncos 6-3 in Game 2. With the Tabbies nursing a 2-1 lead midway through the first period, Wiesblatt struck again from his office parked at the edge of the Swift Current net on another powerplay. The Broncos got back within one in the middle frame, but Wiesblatt potted the eventual game-winner when he spotted a loose puck behind the Broncos netminder and batted it into the open net. He capped off his night with an assist on a McKenna empty-net goal en route to a third star recognition.

Wiesblatt leads all WHL skaters with five goals and his six points are second only to McKenna (9).

He's also on a 14-game point streak dating back to February 17, 2025, in the regular season.

The 5-foot-9, 183-pound centreman was drafted by the Tigers with the 12th overall pick in the 2019 WHL Prospects Draft. Since then, he's suited up for 284 regular-season matches, piling up 101 goals and 187 assists for 288 career points.

He's averaging a point per game in three trips to the WHL postseason (7G-4A) but hopes to help the Tigers advance to the second round for the first time since 2017.

Wiesblatt was named a WHL Central Division Second Team All-Star in 2023 and 2024 and was named the 41st Captain in Tigers history on October 14, 2025.

The Tigers will hit the Trans-Canada Highway for two tilts at Swift Current's InnovationPlex, starting with Game 3 on Tuesday, April 1 at 7:00 p.m. MST.

All WHL Playoffs games will be streamed for free on Victory+.
