I spent a day with @pdxwinterhawks Minnesota scout @JPilacinski to show what "A Day in the Life" looks like for a @TheWHL scout. A huge thank you to Jeff, and also @MCoflin, for taking the time out of their schedules to give fans this unique perspective. pnwhockeytalk.com/portland-winte…

This was a fun conversation…so many memories…and some game audio mixed in from a classic playoff game vs. Seattle. Give it a watch!

@Troy_Gillard @JonKeenNLSports

Not many outside the Comms industry will understand the ballet it must have taken to do a four team, multi-trade release all at the same time. 👏

New podcast drop! 🎧 Andy “Dirt” Johnson sits down with Josh Critzer to preview Saturday’s big home opener. Plus, Ryan Miller joins the pod to talk about being named the latest team captain. MORE » pdxhwk.us/PodcastS5E2

@dbartram22 The pick originally belonged to Brandon, but Kamloops held it prior to the trade.

@pdxwinterhawks Brandon or Kamloops?

Trade Alert 🚨 The Portland Winterhawks have acquired a 2026 second-round pick from Brandon for defenseman Kayd Ruedig (‘07) and a 2027 conditional fifth-round pick. MORE » pdxhwk.us/Trade2026Secon…

Big news coming… C you tomorrow 👀

Making it official ✍️ 2010-born goaltender Cooper Dryden has signed his WHL Scholarship & Development Agreement. Welcome to the Winterhawks! MORE » pdxhwk.us/CooperDrydenSi…

Those are the only two dmen to accomplish that stat line since before 1996/97 when the @pdxwinterhawks record book changed the criteria for "Big Offensive Performance" from 5 points to 4 points. There have been a lot of 4 point games from dmen, but only these 2 with 2-2-4.

Max Psenicka with 2-2-4 for @pdxwinterhawks in 6-4 win tonight in Kamloops. The last Hawks d-man to post 2-2-4 was Henri Jokiharju on 10/7/17 in 10-5 win in Seattle.

Scoring updates for @pdxwinterhawks vs. Everett on 9/28: 1st goal - N. Brown from S. Spehar and Psenicka 3rd goal - Free from R. Miller and Sotheran

Impressive night for Ondřej Štěbeták between the pipes as he sets a new career best in saves. His previous record in the regular season was 46 against Prince George on 11/1/24, and a playoff high of 49 in Game 4 against Prince George on 4/2/25.

This is a signing Portland fans should really get excited about! Dozark is player who will make an immediate impact next season and surely turn some heads! Easton Dozark is one of the top 2010-born defensemen in the U.S. and is already 6’1” and 185 pounds as a 15-year-old. He helped his Moorhead Bantam AA team to a national championship last year with an outstanding 34 goals and 35 assists in 55 games.

@jimmybustender @pdxwinterhawks @Kurtpohs @HawkeyFlock Yes, stay tuned ;)

Hey @pdxwinterhawks @jjcritzer @Kurtpohs @HawkeyFlock curious if we are going to see a roster out before the game on Friday?

@tiffanysk8r @pdxwinterhawks @WillHenchy No, he is not calling any of the games this weekend.

@pdxwinterhawks Is @WillHenchy broadcasting the game today?

Closing in on puck drop⏳ Here’s the squad leading us into today’s preseason battle vs. Spokane.

@kcyd_nayr @pdxwinterhawks I was able to get this corrected with the league on the gamesheet.

@jjcritzer @pdxwinterhawks Ruedig from Spehar and Dyck

What a finish to the end of the game in Everett for the @pdxwinterhawks against Seattle. The Thunderbirds scored a pair of goals in the final 2:46, including with 39 seconds left, to tie the game at four. Then, 18 seconds after Tai Riley’s tally, Kayd Ruedig picks a corner off a pass from Sam Spehar. Winterhawks win 5-4 Shots finished: 40-33 SEA

Winterhawks strike twice on special teams, once while shorthanded (McDonough) and the other on a five-minute major power play (Duguay), to take a 3-1 advantage to the second intermission. Blake Clark exited with 10:30 left in the 2nd period as Tyler DiCarlo came in. Portland has split the goaltending time this weekend. Clark finished with 23 saves on 24 shots.

Winterhawks and Thunderbirds are tied at one after the first period. Blake Clark, making his WHL preseason debut, was strong in goal, stopping 22-of-23, as Seattle came out firing. Nathan Free converted on the power play for Portland. Jordan Duguay and Will McLaughlin picked up the assists.
