For the third time in franchise history, the Everett Silvertips will battle for WHL glory.<\/p>\n
The Silvertips completed a sweep of the B.C. Division Penticton Vees with a 4-2 comeback win in Game 4 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Penticton carried a hard-fought 2-1 lead into the final period with hopes of extending their season, but Jesse Heslop breathed new life into the game as he shovelled a loose puck into the Vees net with under nine minutes remaining.<\/p>\n
Two minutes later, 2026 NHL Draft-eligible Matias Vanhanen (NHL CSS: 54)\u00a0 gave Everett its first lead of the night.<\/p>\n
His 10th goal of the playoffs would stand as the series-winner.<\/p>\n
Fellow Finn and Seattle Kraken prospect Julius Miettinen iced the Western Conference Championship with an empty net goal, while Anders Miller steered aside 26 of 28 shots.<\/p>\n
Vanhanen and Miettinen are tied for most goals in the 2026 WHL Playoffs.<\/p>\n
The powerhouse Silvertips have captured back-to-back Scotty Munro Memorial Trophies as regular-season champions, but are eager to drop ‘regular season’ from that sentence.<\/p>\n
Everett is coming off its best regular season in franchise history with a whopping 57-8-2-1 record.<\/p>\n
Angel of the Winds Arena has become a fortress on Possession Sound, with the Tips going 6-0-0\u00a0 at home in the postseason.<\/p>\n
This marks Everett’s third trip to the WHL Championship Series and first since 2018.<\/p>\n
The Tips burst onto the scene in their inaugural season by capturing the U.S. Division title and advancing to the 2004 WHL Championship Series, where they fell to the Medicine Hat Tigers in four straight.<\/p>\n
They’d have to wait until 2018 to have another crack at the title, but were ultimately felled by the Swift Current Broncos in six games.<\/p>\n
Now, Everett will await the winner of the Eastern Conference Championship, where the Medicine Hat Tigers hold a 2-1 series lead over the Prince Albert Raiders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Calgary, Alta. \u2013<\/strong> The Western Hockey League announced today Penticton Vees President, Head Coach and General Manager Fred Harbinson has been awarded the Lloyd Saunders Memorial Trophy as WHL Executive of the Year for the 2025-26 WHL Regular Season.<\/p>\nWHL Executive of the Year Finalists<\/strong><\/p>\nGarry Davidson, Calgary Hitmen

By taking home the Lloyd Saunders Memorial Trophy, Harbinson becomes the first WHL Award winner in Penticton Vees franchise history. He is also the first General Manager of an expansion franchise in WHL history to be named Executive of the Year.<\/p>\n
In this the Club\u2019s first WHL season, the longtime executive built a squad that won the WHL\u2019s B.C. Division title with a record of 44-14-6-4. In the process, Harbinson\u2019s Vees set a Canadian Hockey League record for wins by an expansion franchise. The 1982-83 Longueuil Chevaliers of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League were the previous holders of the mark, having won 37 games during their inaugural campaign.<\/p>\n
Tasked with building an expansion roster from scratch, Harbinson\u2019s challenge for 2025-26 was not a small one.<\/p>\n
Harbinson\u2019s work on roster construction officially began May 7, 2025, as the Vees selected 22 players in the 2025 WHL Expansion Draft. Harbinson\u2019s crafty expansion draft work included the selection of numerous players that went on to have a major impact on Penticton\u2019s run to the B.C. Division title, including WHL veterans Matteo Danis, Morgan Tastad, and Brady Birnie, netminder Andrew Reyelts, and a number of faces new to the WHL, including Sean Burick, Ethan Weber, Diego Johnson, Nolan Stevenson, and Brooks DeMars, among others.<\/p>\n
Following the WHL Expansion Draft and prior to puck drop on the 2025-26 campaign, Harbinson made arguably his most important acquisition, landing the rights to New York Islanders prospect Jacob Kvasnicka from the Wenatchee Wild on June 19, 2025. Kvasnicka went on to lead the Vees in regular season scoring with 85 points (35G-50A) in 65 games and was named a finalist for WHL Rookie of the Year and recognized as a WHL Western Conference Second Team All-Star.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the 2026 WHL Trade Deadline, Harbinson bolstered his roster with the acquisition of netminder Ethan McCallum, who served as a valuable running mate to Reyelts. The Vees GM also added Samuel Drancak up front, acquiring the Czech forward from the Red Deer Rebels.<\/p>\n
Harbinson also wasted no time recruiting a number of players from the BCHL, including his eventual second-leading scorer Ryden Evers, Danish import forward Tristan Petersen, Louis Wehmann, Callum Stone and more.<\/p>\n
As constructed, Harbinson\u2019s Vees finished fourth in the WHL\u2019s overall standings and served as the third stingiest team in the WHL, allowing a mere 188 goals against (2.76 goals against per game) while producing the sixth-best offense in the WHL with 268 goals for in 68 games (3.94 goals for per game).<\/p>\n
Penticton\u2019s special teams were key to its success \u2013 the penalty kill tied with the Wenatchee Wild for tops in the WHL, erasing man advantages 81.8 per cent of the time, while the power play finished sixth-best in the WHL, converting on 27.4 per cent of its opportunities.<\/p>\n
This marks the fourth consecutive season in which the Lloyd Saunders Memorial Trophy has been presented to a General Manager from the WHL\u2019s Western Conference. Harbinson follows after Matt Bardsley of the Spokane Chiefs (2024-25), Mark Lamb of the Prince George Cougars (2023-24), and Bil La Forge of the Seattle Thunderbirds (2022-23).<\/p>\n
The Lloyd Saunders Memorial Trophy is named in memory of Lloyd Saunders, a longtime supporter of junior hockey in Western Canada.<\/p>\n
Dubbed the \u2018Dean\u2019 of sportscaster in Western Canada, Saunders covered major events such as the Olympics, the World Series, the Grey Cup, several Briers, and six Memorial Cups.<\/p>\n
Saunders was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame and the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n
The WHL Executive of the Year Award is voted upon by WHL General Managers and members of the media.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\nCall him one of Everett’s crown ‘Jules’! Seattle Kraken prospect Julius Miettinen put up his sixth multipoint game of the 2026 WHL Playoffs- but it’s his timing that’s been one of the most important parts of his game. The 6-foot-3, 207-pound centreman tied Game 3 of the Western Conference Championship at the halfway point of the game with a wraparound tally before setting up Matias Vanhanen for Everett’s first lead of the night. Miettinen also went 13\/24 at the faceoff dot as the Silvertips took a commanding 3-0 series lead. The 20-year-old owns 17 points (9G-8A) in 12 playoff games to tie for second in the WHL playoff scoring race.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Everett 4<\/strong>, Penticton 3<\/p>\nEVT leads 3-0<\/p>\n
Penticton certainly got the start it wanted as Ethan Weber- who tied Game 2 with under a minute remaining- got the SOEC rocking with a wrister from below the faceoff dot just 37 seconds into the match. Unfortunately for the Vees, Everett also got the response it needed. 20-year-old Zackary Shantz tied it up with a one-timer from the slot that Florida Panthers prospect Shea Busch teed up. Vees captain Nolan Stevenson put his team back on top 46 seconds into the second, but the Silvertips had another trick in the bag as Seattle Kraken prospect Julius Miettinen put a shot on net from the slot, collected his rebound as frantic skaters jockeyed for position, and buried his ninth goal of the postseason on the wraparound. Miettinen came back for more as he set up his fellow countryman, Matias Vanhanen (NHL CSS: 54), for a bardown snipe to give Everett its first lead of the night. Hunter Rudolph delivered a highlight-reel play as he redirected a between-the-legs pass to Rhys Jamieson to add some insurance for the visitors. Jamieson’s second of the playoffs would stand as the game-winner as Vees alternate captain Brady Birnie got Penticton within one. Everett would survive a late delay of game penalty, with Anders Miller stepping up with a flurry of key saves, to bring themselves within one win of punching their ticket to the championship round.<\/p>\n
