F Gavin McKenna - Medicine Hat Tigers, WHL (2026 Draft)

Smart proactive move by Med Hat. Entice him to stay for his draft year, especially with these NCAA rumours. Hope he stays and demolishes the league in his draft year.
Would have been a better move to let Medicine Hat host the 2026 Memorial Cup like everyone else was expecting instead of giving it to Kelowna as a make up for Covid.
 
Tigers are a complete firewagon team. If they get Lindstrom and Basha healthy for the playoffs I don't see many Memorial Cup hopes for anybody else in the dub.

Saginaw Spirit v Medicine Hat Tigers finals 🤞

IDK, it's not like they have been a super unbeatable team this this year. They'll have a tough series if and when they play Lethbridge or Calgary and then a team like Edmonton has even given them some fits this season. Then there's Everett and Spokane out of the west.

It doesn't really seem like Lindstrom will be back this season and if he does, who knows how effective he'll be. With Basha, Desjardins in January that any potential return would only be possible through a long playoff run, which also doesn't bode well considering that's coming from the coach.

I wouldn't count out the London Knights and the Q always has a strong older team as well.
