Welcome to THN's "WHL Standouts Of The Week" article. In this weekly column, we highlight one player from each division who impressed over the last week. Here is a look at the four standouts from Week 3 of the 2025-26 season.
Jacob Kvasnicka- Penticton Vees
The Penticton Vees were unbeatable this weekend in large part thanks to Jacob Kvasnicka. The New York Islanders prospect recorded three goals and seven points over Penticton's three games this week. Now with 10 points in seven games, Kvasnicka is starting to find his groove in the WHL.
Parker Snell- Edmonton Oil Kings
Parker Snell has had a strong start to 2025-26 season. This past week, the 17-year-old went 2-0-0 while recording a 26 save shutout against the Brandon Wheat Kings. While it is early, it appears that the Edmonton Oil Kings have found a future star in the crease.
Matias Vanhanen- Everett Silvertips
Matias Vanhanen is off to a dream start in his WHL career. The Finnish forward recorded 10 points in three games this week and has developed some strong chemistry with teammate Julius Miettinen. Now with 13 points in six games, Vanhanen has firmly placed himself in the Rookie of the Year conversation.
Hunter Laing- Saskatoon Blades
Hunter Laing stepped up in a big way for the Saskatoon Blades this weekend. Over his two games, the Calgary Flames prospect recorded three goals, which included a two-goal night against the Brandon Wheat Kings. Laing continues to deliver for the Blades and is now up to four goals and five points in four games this year.
