2025-26 CHL Top-10 Rankings presented by Delta Hotels by Marriott: Week 6

The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) today unveiled its Week 6 edition of the CHL Top-10 Rankings presented by Delta Hotels by Marriott for the 2025-26 season.

The Brantford Bulldogs continue to set the pace across the CHL, holding firm at No. 1 in the CHL Top-10 Rankings for a third straight week. The Bulldogs (11-0-1-1) remain the only OHL team without a regulation loss – and one of just two across the CHL – after extending their dominance with three more wins by a combined 10-3 margin. Led by Buffalo Sabres prospect Ryerson Leenders, the OHL Goaltender of the Week, and Seattle Kraken prospect Jake O’Brien, who leads the league with 23 points, Brantford has established itself as one of the teams to beat early in the 2025-26 season. The Windsor Spitfires (12-2-1-1) have climbed back to No. 2 – matching their season-best ranking – after earning five of six points last week and becoming the first team in both the OHL and CHL to hit 12 wins. Windsor’s success has been driven by 2026 NHL Draft prospect Ethan Belchetz, CHL defensive scoring co-leader Carson Woodall, and Los Angeles Kings prospect Liam Greentree. Rounding out the top three, the Everett Silvertips (11-1-1-0) slipped one position but remain the WHL’s top club after rebounding from their first regulation loss with a 5-2 road win in Spokane.

Further down the list, the Prince Albert Raiders (9-0-2-0) climbed to No. 8 after extending their unbeaten-in-regulation streak to 11 games with back-to-back shutouts of Swift Current. The Raiders remain the WHL’s lone team without a regulation loss, backstopped by strong goaltending from Michal Orsulak and Dimitri Fortin, and steady play from veteran Brayden Dube. Entering the Top 10 for the first time this season, the London Knights (7-2-3-0) have caught fire with a nine-game point streak (7-0-2-0). The defending Memorial Cup champions were powered over the last week by new captain and Lightning prospect Sam O’Reilly, dynamic defenceman Jared Woolley, and rookie netminder Sebastian Gatto, who earned his first OHL shutout in a 3-0 win at Sarnia.

CHL Top-10 Rankings – Week 6

1. Brantford Bulldogs (OHL): The Brantford Bulldogs (11-0-1-1) continue to reign atop the CHL Top-10 Rankings for a third consecutive week after another dominant stretch that saw them win all three of their games by a combined 10-3 margin. Brantford opened the week with a 3-1 road victory in Sarnia before defeating the Oshawa Generals 3-1 at home and 4-1 on the road to close out the weekend. Remaining the lone OHL club without a regulation loss this season—and one of just two teams across the CHL to hold that distinction—the Bulldogs have firmly established themselves among the league’s elite. Buffalo Sabres prospect Ryerson Leenders was named the Mary Brown’s Chicken OHL Goaltender of the Week after going 2-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average and a .966 save percentage, highlighted by a 38-save performance in Sarnia. Up front, Seattle Kraken prospect Jake O’Brien (7G-16A in 11 GP) extended his point streak to seven games, capped by a four-point outing in Oshawa that helped him seize the OHL scoring lead with 23 points. The Bulldogs will look to extend their unbeaten run this week as they host Barrie before heading south for weekend matchups in Flint and Saginaw.

Games this week: vs. Barrie (Oct. 29), @ Flint (Nov.1 ), @ Saginaw (Nov. 2)

2. Windsor Spitfires (OHL): Having earned five of a possible six points last week, the Windsor Spitfires (12-2-1-1) have climbed two spots to sit second in this week’s CHL Top-10 Rankings – matching their highest position of the season and returning to the No. 2 slot for the first time in three weeks. Windsor blanked the Ottawa 67’s 2-0 on Thursday and edged Owen Sound 4-3 in a shootout Friday before falling 6-5 in another shootout to Saginaw on Sunday. With Friday’s win, the Spitfires became the first team in both the OHL and CHL to record 12 victories this season. Leading the charge offensively, 2026 NHL Draft prospect Ethan Belchetz (12G-7A in 15 GP) tallied three goals and an assist over the week and continues to pace the OHL with 12 goals, having scored in nine of his last 11 games. Los Angeles Kings prospect Liam Greentree (6G-6A in 8 GP) added his fourth and fifth multi-point performances of the campaign, bringing his total to 12 points in eight outings. Meanwhile, 19-year-old blueliner Carson Woodall (2G-20A in 16 GP) extended his point streak to nine games and remains tied for the league lead among CHL defencemen with 22 points. The Spitfires will look to stay hot this weekend when they visit Saginaw on Saturday before hosting Flint on Sunday.

Games this week: @ Saginaw (Nov. 1), vs. Flint (Nov. 2)

7. Kitchener Rangers (OHL): The Kitchener Rangers (9-3-2-0) climbed one spot to seventh in this week’s CHL Top-10 Rankings after earning five of a possible six points over the past week, marking their first upward move in three weeks. The Rangers opened the weekend with a 4-1 win over Flint at the Aud, dropped a narrow 4-3 overtime decision in Barrie, and closed out with a 3-1 home victory against North Bay to extend their point streak to four games. Nashville Predators 2025 first-round pick Cameron Reid (1G-10A in 12 GP) continued to heat up, recording points in all three games to stretch his streak to six, including three straight multi-point efforts. Colorado Avalanche prospect Christian Humphreys (5G-13A in 12 GP) paced the Rangers with seven points (2G-5A) in three outings, registering at least two points in each contest. Between the pipes, San Jose Sharks prospect Christian Kirsch remains rock solid in his rookie OHL campaign, winning five of his last six starts while allowing just one goal in four of those appearances. The Rangers will look to stay hot this week as they host Sudbury before visiting Brampton for a clash with the Steelheads.

Games this week: vs. Sudbury (Oct. 31), @ Brampton (Nov. 1)

10. London Knights (OHL): After opening the season winless through three games (0-2-1-0), the London Knights (7-2-3-0) have surged into the CHL Top-10 Rankings for the first time in 2025-26 on the strength of a nine-game point streak (7-0-2-0) dating back to September 27. The reigning Memorial Cup champions continued their impressive run over the weekend with a 3-2 overtime victory against the Ottawa 67’s, followed by a 3-0 shutout win in Sarnia. Now one of just four OHL teams with a points percentage above .700, the Knights have been led by newly named captain and Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Sam O’Reilly (6G-6A in 10 GP), who scored in both wins, including a three-point effort versus Ottawa, and has points in six of his last eight games with four multi-point outings. On the back end, Los Angeles Kings prospect Jared Woolley (5G-6A in 10 GP) extended his point streak to five games and has been held off the scoresheet just once this season. Between the pipes, rookie netminder Sebastian Gatto stopped all 21 shots he faced in Sarnia to earn his first career OHL shutout. The Knights will look to keep their streak alive this week with a three-game eastern road trip through Peterborough, Ottawa, and Kingston.

Games this week: @ Peterborough (Oct. 30), @ Ottawa (Oct. 31), @ Kingston (Nov. 2)
