Bulldogs, Spitfires, 67’s appear in CHL Top-10 Rankings presented by Delta Hotels by Marriott: Week 9
The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) today unveiled its Week 9 edition of the CHL Top-10 Rankings presented by Delta Hotels by Marriott for the 2025-26 season.
The No. 1-ranked Bulldogs extended their remarkable point streak to 21 games, remaining the CHL’s only team without a regulation loss while maintaining league-best marks offensively and in goal differential. Prince Albert surged to No. 2 on the strength of a dominant U.S. road swing, earning statement wins over Everett, Portland, and Seattle as Michal Orsulak continued his rise as one of the WHL’s top netminders. Everett, now No. 3, remains firmly entrenched among the elite after registering its 17th win of the season—tied for the CHL lead—and riding another standout week from WHL Goaltender of the Week Anders Miller, who helped the Silvertips close on a high note against Kelowna.
Just behind them, Edmonton, Blainville-Boisbriand, and Ottawa all climbed the rankings on the strength of impressive recent runs. The Oil Kings jumped to No. 4 after a perfect 3-0-0-0 week powered by one of the CHL’s most dangerous offences, surpassing the 100-goal plateau and matching Everett for the CHL lead in wins. In the QMJHL, Blainville-Boisbriand rose to No. 7 after a pair of convincing road victories pushed them to a QMJHL-leading 14 wins and made them the first team in the Q to break the 100-goal mark. Ottawa, meanwhile, made its 2025-26 season debut in the Top 10, riding a nine-game point streak and an OHL Rookie of the Week performance from goaltender Ryder Fetterolf to reach No. 8.

CHL Top-10 Rankings – Week 9
1. Brantford Bulldogs (OHL): The Brantford Bulldogs (16-0-4-1) extended their remarkable point streak to 21 games, holding down the No. 1 spot in the CHL Top-10 Rankings for the sixth consecutive week — by far the longest stay at the top by any club this season. Brantford remains the only team in the CHL without a regulation loss, and their 16 wins sit just one behind No. 3 Everett and No. 4 Edmonton (17 each). The Bulldogs continue to lead the CHL offensively, averaging a league-best 5.10 goals per game, standing as the only OHL club to surpass 100 goals, and boasting a CHL-high +50 goal differential. This past week, Brantford dropped a 3-2 overtime decision to Flint before rebounding with a 5-4 home victory over Brampton. St. Louis Blues prospect Adam Jiricek (7G-14A in 18 GP) pushed his point streak to nine games, highlighted by a three-point outing (2G-1A) against the Steelheads, while Marek Vanacker (18G-8A in 19 GP) continued his elite scoring pace, netting his 18th goal of the season — giving him goals in six of his last eight games and placing him first in the OHL and second in the CHL. This week, the Bulldogs visit Niagara before returning home to host the Sarnia Sting.
Games this week: @ Niagara (Nov. 20), vs. Sarnia (Nov. 21)
6. Windsor Spitfires (OHL): The Windsor Spitfires (15-4-2-1) slipped three spots to No. 6 in this week’s CHL Top-10 Rankings after dropping both of their games over the past week. Windsor opened with a 4-3 overtime loss to the Soo Greyhounds before falling 8-5 the following night in Guelph, contributing to a 5-3-1-1 stretch over their last 10 outings. Despite the dip, the Spitfires remain one of just three OHL teams to reach 15 wins, joining the No. 1-ranked Brantford Bulldogs (16) and No. 8-ranked Ottawa 67’s (15). Top 2026 NHL Draft prospect Ethan Belchetz (16G–11A in 21 GP) continues to impress ahead of the 2025 CHL USA Prospects Challenge, extending his point streak to seven games and scoring three goals across Windsor’s two contests last week. His 16 goals rank third in the OHL. On the back end, Carson Woodall (4G–26A in 22 GP) remains a dominant presence, recording his ninth and tenth multi-point efforts of the season to maintain his lead atop all CHL defencemen with 30 points. The Spitfires will look to rebound this weekend with a home-and-home series against the Saginaw Spirit before returning to the WFCU Centre to host the Storm.
Games this week: vs. Saginaw (Nov. 21), @ Saginaw (Nov. 22), vs. Guelph (Nov. 23)
8. Ottawa 67’s (OHL): Riding a nine-game point streak (8-0-0-1), the Ottawa 67’s (15-5-1-1) have surged into eighth place to make their first appearance of the 2025-26 season in the CHL Top-10 Rankings. Ottawa continued its climb with a 2-1 shootout win over Kingston before rolling past Sarnia 9-3 and Niagara 6-2. Defensively, the 67’s continue to set the standard in the OHL, giving up just 2.36 goals per game and 52 goals against, the second-lowest mark in the CHL this season. A major driver of that success is Ryder Fetterolf, who was named OHL Rookie of the Week for the second time this season after going 2-0 with a 1.44 GAA and .942 save percentage. The 17-year-old turned aside 23 of 24 shots in Wednesday’s shootout win over Kingston and added 26 saves on Saturday against Niagara, earning second-star honours in both victories. In his NHL Draft–eligible season, Fetterolf has posted a 10-2-1-0 record, a 1.90 GAA (2nd in OHL, 3rd in CHL), and a .928 save percentage (2nd in OHL and CHL), and enters the week on a six-game winning streak. Ottawa now looks to keep its momentum going on a three-game road swing through Kingston, Kitchener, and Owen Sound.
Games this week: @ Kingston (Nov. 19), @ Kitchener (Nov. 21), @ Owen Sound (Nov. 22)
