Bulldogs, Spitfires, and Rangers remain in CHL Top-10 Rankings presented by Delta Hotels by Marriott: Week 7
The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) today unveiled its Week 7 edition of the CHL Top-10 Rankings presented by Delta Hotels by Marriott for the 2025-26 season.
The Brantford Bulldogs, Everett Silvertips, and Windsor Spitfires anchor the top of the CHL Top-10 Rankings this week. Brantford holds firm at No. 1 for the fourth straight week, led by Seattle Kraken prospect Jake O’Brien — the CHL’s scoring leader — and Chicago Blackhawks prospect Marek Vanacker, who continues to pace the OHL in goals. Just behind them, Everett returns to No. 2 on the strength of WHL goal co-leader Shea Busch and goaltender Raiden LeGall (11-0-1), as the Silvertips remain the only WHL club with 13 wins and boast one of the CHL’s best goal differentials. Meanwhile, Windsor sits at No. 3, powered by Los Angeles Kings prospect Liam Greentree, who recorded his first hat trick of the season last week, and CHL scoring-leading defenceman Carson Woodall, who continues to drive play from the blue line.
Continuing their rise, the Chicoutimi Saguenéens climb for a fourth straight week to No. 4, driven by the strong two-way play of Nathan Lecompte and the steady production of Washington Capitals prospect Maxim Schäfer, alongside a penalty kill operating above 90%. The Prince Albert Raiders also move up again, now at No. 7, with San Jose Sharks prospect Max Heise and top 2026 NHL Draft prospect Daxon Rudolph leading a team that remains unbeaten in regulation and among the CHL’s toughest defensive squads. Making their season debut in the rankings, the Calgary Hitmen enter at No. 9, riding a seven-game point streak behind WHL goaltending leader Eric Tu and the play-driving efforts of Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Kale Dach.

CHL Top-10 Rankings – Week 7
1. Brantford Bulldogs (OHL): The Brantford Bulldogs (13-0-2-1) remain the unanimous No. 1 team in the CHL Top-10 Rankings for a fourth straight week, powered by a league-best 16-game point streak to open the 2025-26 season. The Bulldogs are the lone OHL team without a regulation loss and one of just two CHL clubs still unbeaten through 60 minutes, backed by the CHL’s top goal differential (+49), the highest goals-per-game average (5.50), and one of only two power plays operating above 40% this season. Seattle Kraken prospect and captain Jake O’Brien (8G-24A in 14 GP) continues to pace the CHL scoring race with 32 points after extending his point streak to 10 games last week, while Chicago Blackhawks prospect Marek Vanacker (15G-7A in 14 GP) leads the OHL with 15 goals following another three-game scoring stretch. Brantford heads into a three-game week with visits to Peterborough and Oshawa before returning home to host Ottawa on Sunday.
Games this week: @ Peterborough (Nov. 6), @ Oshawa (Nov. 7), vs. Ottawa (Nov. 9)
3. Windsor Spitfires (OHL): The Windsor Spitfires (13-3-1-1) slip one spot to No. 3 in this week’s CHL Top-10 Rankings after splitting a pair of road games in Michigan, falling 6-3 in Saginaw despite a 43–28 shot advantage before responding with a 5-2 win in Flint. Windsor remains one of just three CHL teams to reach 13 wins this season and continues to sit among the CHL’s elite, backed by a +27 goal differential and top-tier special teams — their power play ranks third in the OHL at 32.9%, while their penalty kill leads the league at 88.4%. Los Angeles Kings prospect Liam Greentree (9G-7A in 10 GP) recorded his first hat trick of the season in the win over Flint, while 19-year-old blueliner Carson Woodall (3G-22A in 18 GP) extended his point streak to 11 games and continues to lead all CHL defencemen with 25 points. The Spitfires return home this week for matchups against Kingston and Brampton as they look to build on their strong start.
Games this week: vs. Kingston (Nov. 6), vs. Brampton (Nov. 8)
6. Kitchener Rangers (OHL): The Kitchener Rangers (11-3-2-0) climb to No. 6 in this week’s CHL Top-10 Rankings after extending their point streak to six games (5-0-1-0), highlighted by back-to-back shutout victories — a 3-0 win over Sudbury and a 4-0 road win in Brampton. The Rangers have been one of the CHL’s stingiest defensive teams of late, allowing one goal or fewer in six of their last nine games and giving up just 1.78 goals per game since October 11. It was a milestone week in the crease as both San Jose Sharks prospect Christian Kirsch and 2026 NHL Draft prospect Jason Schaubel recorded their first career OHL shutouts. Kirsch now ranks among the OHL’s top goaltenders with eight wins, a 1.99 goals-against average, and a .920 save percentage. Up front, Jack Pridham (9G-7A in 14 GP) extended his point streak to four games and now has points in eight of his last nine. Kitchener will look to continue its surge this week as it returns home to host Saginaw and Kingston at The Aud.
Games this week: vs. Saginaw (Nov. 7), vs. Kingston (Nov. 9)
