Lame WHL coverage by the media

[trellaine201]

All I am looking for is WHL predictions this year. Do any reliable sources cover the WHL? If so, who can I search on google?

Thanks

Twitter is truly your best bet. I'll link some decent people to follow and a good website. Also the WHL itself puts out a podcast

WHL Radio Show – October 13, 2023 - Western Hockey League

Episode 4 checks in with Pete Toigo of the Vancouver Giants and Easton Armstrong of the Saskatoon Blades.

One thing I noticed during my period of ICE fandom was that there is no national coverage of the WHL outside the context of individual draft prospects and WJHC,. To be fair, focusing on the player development angle makes sense as it is one of the WHL's main reasons for existing. But almost all coverage of the teams themselves happens to be local.

Former journalist Gregg Drinnan ran an excellent blog for years but he closed it down last month.

The PxP guy from Edmonton Guy Flaming hosts a junior hockey podcast called The Pipeline Show which isn't WHL specific but has a lot of WHL content.

Some local newspapers have pretty good WHL coverage. The Brandon Sun is one of the better ones in that they tend to look beyond just the local home team.

But I do agree that X is probably the best bet.
