OHL Power Rankings: Oct. 27, 2025

Who’s up:

Kitchener Rangers – up two spots to #3 this week
The Rangers picked up five of a possible six points last week, defeating Flint, losing to Barrie in overtime and prevailing over North Bay. Colorado Avalanche prospect Christian Humphreys has been a steady producer with seven points (2-5–7) over three outings last week. Captain Cameron Reid has also found his offensive touch with six points (1-5–6) to his credit over that span.

Niagara IceDogs – up five spots to #4 this week
The IceDogs were 3-0 with a pair of wins over Brampton while also defeating the Kingston Frontenacs 4-1. Kevin He had himself a hat-trick on Sunday while Ryan Roobroeck and Riley Patterson are also producing. First-year blueliner Ben Reisnecker has found a home on the power play. The big Czech defender is eligible for the 2026 NHL Draft.

London Knights – up three spots to #5 this week
The Knights have put their slow start in the rearview mirror, going 7-0-2-0 over their last nine games. Sam O’Reilly (6-6–12), Ben Wilmott (6-5–11) and Jared Woolley (5-6–11) have all produced at over a point-per-game.

Flint Firebirds – up three spots to #10 this week
The Firebirds have been stingy defensively, with three shutouts already this season. The Firebirds lost to Kitchener before defeating Erie and Owen Sound. Michigan product Darian Anderson has been a welcome addition, with six points (3-3–6) through his first six games.

Guelph Storm – up four spots to #11 this week
The Storm beat a pair of top-seven opponents last week with home wins over Kingston and Ottawa. The combination of Carter Stevens (7-7–14) and rookie Jaakko Wycisk (7-6–13) has been a good one for Guelph as they get a shot in the arm with the return of Jett Luchanko from the Philadelphia Flyers.

Saginaw Spirit – up two spots to #15 this week
The Spirit return to the Power Rankings, rattling off three straight wins over Erie, Owen Sound and Windsor. Sunday’s win saw the Spirit come from behind in Windsor, beating the second-ranked Spitfires courtesy a hat-trick and shootout winner from 2027 NHL Draft prospect Dimian Zhilkin.

Sudbury Wolves – up one spot to #16 this week
The veteran duo of Kieron Walton and Nathan Villeneuve teamed-up to help the Wolves beat Barrie and Peterborough last week, putting Sudbury on the power rankings for the first time this season. The 4-8-1-0 Wolves have won three of their last four.
