Bulldogs, 67’s, Firebirds, and Spitfires appear in CHL Top-10 Rankings presented by Delta Hotels by Marriott: Week 10 & 11
The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) today unveiled its combined Week 10 & 11 edition of the CHL Top-10 Rankings presented by Delta Hotels by Marriott, for the 2025-26 season.
The Brantford Bulldogs (19-2-4-1) hold No. 1 for an eighth straight week despite dropping their first two regulation games of the season, still boasting a CHL-best 11-0-2-1 home record, a league-leading 4.92 goals per game, and a stacked core headlined by Marek Vanacker, Jake O’Brien, Adam Benak, and new addition Jett Luchanko. The Everett Silvertips (20-3-2-1) climb back to No. 2 on the strength of a 10-2-1-1 run dating back to October 26, tying Brantford with a .827 points percentage while leading the CHL with 20 wins and getting big performances from Carter Bear and Tempo WHL Player of the Week Tarin Smith. Just behind them at No. 3, the Prince Albert Raiders (17-2-4-0) remain one of the league’s stingiest outfits, allowing a CHL-low 2.43 goals per game and posting a .826 points percentage while holding five games in hand on Edmonton in the WHL’s Eastern Conference, with Daxon Rudolph and Aiden Oiring driving the attack as the Raiders prepare for a tough Alberta road swing.
Further down the list, the Ottawa 67’s (19-6-1-1) jump three spots to a season-best No. 5 on the back of a 12-1-0-1 heater since October 29, fueled by tight team defence and an attack paced by Thomas Vandenberg, Jasper Kuhta, and team-leading goal scorer Cooper Foster. The Flint Firebirds (19-6-1-1) debut at No. 8 thanks to the CHL’s longest active point streak at 12 games (11-0-0-1), with New York Rangers prospect Nathan Aspinall and Kings prospect Jimmy Lombardi both sitting among the OHL’s top offensive threats as Flint closes in on the CHL win leaders. At No. 10, the Moncton Wildcats (16-6-2-1) return to the rankings for the first time since the preseason after a dominant 10-2-0-1 November that pushed their points percentage to .700, with 2026 NHL Draft prospect Tommy Bleyl driving offence from the back end and Sharks prospect Teddy Mutryn emerging as a key rookie as Moncton rides a QMJHL-best six-game point streak into December.

CHL Top-10 Rankings – Week 10 & 11
1. Brantford Bulldogs (OHL): Despite suffering their first two regulation losses of the 2025-26 season, the Brantford Bulldogs (19-2-4-1) remain No. 1 in the CHL Top-10 Rankings for the eighth straight week after winning three of five over the last two weeks. Brantford opened Weeks 10 and 11 with dominant wins over Niagara (5-0) and Sarnia (7-2) before falling 2-1 in Brampton and then splitting a pair of one-goal games against Kitchener (4-3 win) and Oshawa (5-4 loss). Both regulation losses came on the road, meaning the Bulldogs still haven’t lost in regulation at the TD Civic Centre, where they boast a CHL-best 11-0-2-1 home record. Their .827 points percentage remains tied for tops in the CHL alongside No. 2 Everett, while they continue to lead all teams offensively with an average of 4.92 goals per game. The addition of 2024 Flyers first-round pick Jett Luchanko (2G-17A in 14 GP), who picked up his first two points with Brantford in the win over Kitchener, only adds more firepower to a lineup that already features three other NHL first-rounders in Jake O’Brien, Marek Vanacker, and Adam Jiricek. Chicago Blackhawks prospect Vanacker (23G-12A in 23 GP) recorded three multi-point outings, including a hat trick against Niagara and two goals in Oshawa, and leads both the OHL and CHL with 23 goals, while Bulldogs captain and Seattle Kraken prospect O’Brien (10G-34A in 24 GP) tops the OHL with 44 points and Minnesota Wild prospect Adam Benak (14G-26A in 24 GP) sits second with 40 after posting four multi-point efforts in his last six games. This week, Brantford will look to reset and protect its perfect home regulation record as it welcomes Kingston and North Bay to the TD Civic Centre.
Games this week: vs. Kingston (Dec. 3), vs. North Bay (Dec. 6)
5. Ottawa 67’s (OHL): Riding four wins in their last five outings and an 8-1-0-1 run over their past 10 games, the Ottawa 67’s (19-6-1-1) continue their climb up the CHL Top-10 Rankings, jumping three spots to a season-best No. 5 this week. Dating back to October 29, Ottawa has earned 12 wins in its last 14 games (12-1-0-1), with its lone regulation loss over that stretch coming in a tight 2-1 decision in Owen Sound on November 22. The 67’s have been particularly stingy defensively, allowing two goals or fewer in nine of those 14 contests. Ottawa now sits tied for the OHL lead with 19 wins and sits just one back of CHL co-leaders Everett and Edmonton (20 wins each), while its .741 points percentage is tied for the second-best mark in the OHL. Up front, 2026 NHL Draft prospect Thomas Vandenberg (9G-7A in 18 GP) has picked up where he left off after missing nine games, Finnish forward Jasper Kuhta (14G-13A in 27 GP) continues to pace the team with 27 points, and overage forward Cooper Foster (16G-10A in 27 GP) has found the scoresheet in five of his last six outings, leading Ottawa with 16 goals. The 67’s now face a busy three-in-three weekend with matchups against Barrie, Peterborough, and No. 8 Flint.
Games this week: vs. Barrie (Dec. 5), @ Peterborough (Dec. 6), vs. Flint (Dec. 7)
8. Flint Firebirds (OHL): Powered by the longest active point streak in the CHL at 12 games (11-0-0-1), the Flint Firebirds (19-6-1-1) make their CHL Top-10 debut of the 2025-26 season at No. 8 in this week’s rankings. Flint’s run has seen them surge up the OHL standings, with their only blemish in the last 28 days coming in Sunday’s 3-2 shootout loss in Sarnia after reeling off 11 straight wins. During this heater, the Firebirds are averaging 4.33 goals per game and have scored four or more in half of those outings. Their 19 wins on the year place them in a share of the OHL lead alongside No. 1 Brantford, No. 5 Ottawa, and No. 9 Windsor, and just one back of CHL win leaders Everett and Edmonton (20). New York Rangers prospect Nathan Aspinall (17G-21A in 24 GP) has been a major driver of Flint’s success, sitting in a tied for third in OHL scoring with 38 points and riding an eight-game point streak (9G-9A), while Los Angeles Kings prospect Jimmy Lombardi (18G-16A in 25 GP) has been red-hot with goals in five straight and seven over that span, tying him for third among OHL goal scorers with 18 on the season. This week, Flint will look to keep its CHL-best point streak alive on a three-game Eastern road swing through Peterborough, Kingston, and Ottawa, where they’ll cap off their trip against the No. 5-ranked 67’s.
Games this week: @ Peterborough (Dec. 4), @ Kingston (Dec. 5), @ Ottawa (Dec. 7)
9. Windsor Spitfires (OHL): Despite a solid overall record of 19-6-2-1, the Windsor Spitfires have slid to their lowest position of the season at No. 9 in the CHL Top-10 Rankings after managing four wins in their last eight games (4-3-1-0). The past two weeks have still featured some strong performances, with Windsor winning four of six, including a sweep of Owen Sound (3-2, 3-1) and convincing victories over Guelph (5-1) and Saginaw (4-1). Their three-spot drop is due in part to the torrid form of other OHL contenders, as No. 5 Ottawa and No. 8 Flint have both won 11 of their last 14 and now sit just ahead of the Spitfires in points percentage (.741 vs. Windsor’s .732). Individually, Chicago Blackhawks prospect and newly named U.S. World Juniors preliminary roster member AJ Spellacy (8G-6A in 23 GP) has heated up with a four-game point streak and goals in three of those outings, while 2026 NHL Draft prospect Ethan Belchetz (17G-12A in 25 GP) returned from the 2025 CHL USA Prospects Challenge and promptly scored his 17th of the season in Guelph to remain top-10 in OHL goal scoring. In net, Joey Costanzo continues to backstop Windsor’s success, improving to 14-3-1-0 with a CHL-best 1.87 goals-against average and wins in five of his last seven starts (5-1-1-0), having lost in regulation just once since November 2. The Spitfires now face a major test as they prepare for a home-and-home showdown with the defending 2025 Memorial Cup champion London Knights this weekend.
Games this week: @ London (Dec. 5), vs. London (Dec. 6)
