You can play as 14 years old in the WHL? How young can you be without the exceptional status?

A player can play a maximum 5 games in their 15-year old season. Being a late birthday a 14 year old can be considered their 15-year old season.

And others have said through injuries, you can exceed that 5 game mark. I think Dach and McKenna exceeded the 5.

The other loophole is that once a player's u18aaa season is over they can be recalled and play as much as they want or for a playoff run.

As others said Winnipeg exploited it for Savoie. I believe Sam Reinhart played at 15 too in the playoffs

I don't believe in this theory. They still played 33 skaters. Several forwards under 40 games including Peyton Krebs. Only 2 players played every games.

It was well known that Winnipeg had the minimum amount of skaters in order to exploit this rule and get Savoie in for as many games as possible

Sorry but that's not what the numbers indicate. Winnipeg played many more players than average, several players missed a large part of the season.

18 forwards born before 2004 in the squad.

2 G in his debut. His shot is unreal for a 14 year old! Definitely one to watch for 20207.

I also thought his shot was unbelievable. Can we say he has one of the best shot of a 14/15 year old after Bedard in recent years?

Best chances of being what? It's way too early.

I’m surprised this kid doesn’t have a thread that’s much longer by now

I mean he just made his CHL debut yesterday?

best shot, I meant

 

[Petes2424]

He’s been recalled again, and will dress for his second WHL game at 14.

He does have a chance to be a very special player. Obviously the 2 goals in his first WHL game at 14, is gonna get people talking.

He’s 15.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

He’s 15.

he was still 14, few days ago.

 

[JotAlan]

He is producing 2.83ppg in the MU18HL, a close pace to the 2.88ppg Mckenna produced last year in the CSSHL U18.
I know both leagues are u18, but are they close in terms of talent?

Nope

 

[Bubbles]

A nice 1G, 1A night, playing along with an impressive Brady Turko, a 2026 prospect.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

3 goals, 1 assist through first 5 games in the WHL, not bad
- though those stats have come from 2 games, 3 x 0+0 games

 

[Petes2424]

Has a chance to be a really special player. Good chance Brandon goes 3 of 5 drafts, with a Top 10 forward pick. Danielson, McQueen and then Jaxon.

Fans better not sell McQueen short next year btw. PPG this year, and he’s gonna light it up next year with teams having to choose putting their shutdown players against him or a 16 year old.

McQueen already has a lot of NHL in his game. He’s not just using his physical ability to overpower opponents, like many big players do, and he “thinks the game” at a really high level. By the end of next season, he’s going to be one of the best total packages available in the 2025 draft. A lot of Michael Rasmussen in his game.

Jaxon has some very special qualities as well. With he and McQueen for the next two years at least, trading Danielson was a smart move, grabbing those futures.

McQueen is closer to Dach than Rasmussen.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Jacobson absolutely lethal release and shot already. Dare I say Bedard like?

Similar in the way that they are both on the small end in terms of size. But Bedard shoots a puck like no one I've seen.

 

[JotAlan]

What are your expectations for next season? ppg+?

 

[wetcoast]

What are your expectations for next season? ppg+?

PPG seems like alot unless he gets good linemates and some PP TOI for a 15 year old but he has the skill to do it.

Someone who follows Brandon would know more though.

 

[Bubbles]

1G, 1A today. Get the hype machine rolling for the 2027 draft.

Does anyone have highlights from his last two WHL matches?
