knew it was time for a talk with rookie forward Matias Vanhanen.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into the holiday break, the youngster had shown tremendous ability in his first season of hockey in North America, but his point totals were looking a little lopsided with seven goals and 37 assists.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were just noticing early on- powerplays, especially- he was reluctant to shoot,&#8221; Hamilton explained. &#8220;Everybody does their homework and does the pre-scout, and suddenly they&#8217;re just taking away his passing options, and then as soon as he started to turn the corner and go downhill looking to shoot as well, now you can&#8217;t just assume that he&#8217;s passing, and it&#8217;s made him even more valuable, more dangerous on the ice. He has a heck of a shot, you know. It&#8217;s just trusting it.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s got all the weapons he needs. I think a lot of it is just mindset, too. As soon as you become a shooter, as well as the playmaker that he is, you&#8217;re a dual threat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Vanhanen has enjoyed a monster season in the WHL, closing out the campaign with 21 goals (including six game-winners) and 66 assists for 87 points and a +58 rating in 62 games.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You always want to score and help the team, so that gets (you) more confident,&#8221; Vanhanen said. &#8221; But you know, I don&#8217;t care about points that much, just like helping the team win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 5-foot-10, 175-pound winger from Nokia, Finland, has carried the momentum into the postseason with another 24 points (12G-12A) in the 2026 WHL Playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Now, he&#8217;s tied for second in scoring among all skaters at the 2026 Memorial Cup with three goals and two assists in three games.<\/p>\n<p>Vanhanen&#8217;s five points have him tied for fourth in all-time points by a Finnish skater at the Memorial Cup, trailing Pentti Lund&#8217;s record of eight points for the Port Arthur West Ends way back in 1945.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think he really turned up his game during the playoffs, and obviously right now he&#8217;s been unbelievable,&#8221; Vanhanen&#8217;s linemate and 2025 Detroit Red Wings first-round pick Carter Bear said. &#8220;I can&#8217;t wait for the guy to see (him) in the future, and whoever drafts him is going to get a pretty special player, for sure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vanhanen, 18, is ranked 54th among all North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting in the agency&#8217;s final rankings ahead of the 2026 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>But all the talk of records and NHL clubs is on the back burner as Vanhanen focuses on the match ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Every contribution is twice as valuable as the &#8216;Tips enter Friday&#8217;s semifinal match against the QMJHL Champion Chicoutimi Sagueneens.<\/p>\n<p>The winner will face the OHL Champion Kitchener Rangers in Sunday&#8217;s Memorial Cup Final.<\/p>\n<p>Vanhanen and the Tips will battle the Sagueneens at 6:00 p.m. PT on Friday, May 29.<\/p>\n<p>TSN is broadcasting to fans in Canada, while those in the United States and around the world can follow along on Victory+ and NHL Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kelowna, B.C.-\u00a0In December of 2025, Silvertips Head Coach Steve Hamilton knew it was time for a talk with rookie forward Matias Vanhanen.
