Everett Silvertips Schedule 2026
The Everett Silvertips roster enters 2026-27 as the WHL's reigning champion, a first in franchise history since the team joined the league as a 2003 expansion club. The group plays in forest green, white, and silver, and is defined by results: a 57-8-2-1 regular season and a first-ever Ed Chynoweth Cup title that carried through to the Memorial Cup final. New goaltender Jayden Kraus, acquired from the Brandon Wheat Kings, arrives to help replace departed veterans between the pipes. See Everett Silvertips tickets at Event Tickets Center.
Everett Silvertips hockey has meant Western Conference contention for most of the past two decades, and last season's league-best record and Ed Chynoweth Cup run pushed that reputation to new heights. The rivalry that defines the schedule runs south on I-5 against the Seattle Thunderbirds, a series now 23 years and 83 meetings deep with the Silvertips holding a 45-38 edge. Goaltender Dustin Wolf set the standard here before his run to the Calgary Flames, twice named the league's top goaltender during his time in Everett. The current roster plays a similarly defense-first style built to grind out tight, physical nights.
Check Angel of the Winds Arena upcoming events before locking in a date, since the promotional calendar changes as often as the opponent. The building holds better than 8,100 fans in its hockey configuration, split between a lower bowl wrapped tight to the ice and a budget-priced upper deck that still gets loud on a full night. Concessions lean regional, and the compact layout keeps crowd noise higher than the venue's 10,000-seat concert capacity might suggest. It opened in September 2003 under a different name, the same year the Silvertips played their first WHL season, and Oak View Group now manages it for the Everett Public Facilities District.
Everett Silvertips games return for a regular season that runs 68 games long, opening at home Saturday, September 19, 2026, against the Portland Winterhawks, with a pregame ceremony raising the 2025-26 championship banner before puck drop. The home slate runs deep into fan-event territory, including a Teddy Bear Toss against the Kelowna Rockets on December 5 that has become one of the more reliable sellouts on the calendar. Four of the first five games of the season come at home, giving the retooled roster an early chance to find its footing in front of a crowd still buzzing from last spring's title run.
Last season's WHL playoffs ended with Everett hoisting the Ed Chynoweth Cup for the first time in franchise history, closing out the Prince Albert Raiders in the championship series after two previous trips to the final had come up short. That run carried into the Memorial Cup, where the Silvertips reached the final before falling to the Kitchener Rangers, a finish that still stands as the deepest postseason the franchise has played. Defending a title changes the target on a team's back, and with much of last year's core turned over, this postseason push will test how much of that identity survives the roster changes.
A defending champion does not come around often in Everett, and this season doubles as a title defense and a re-introduction to a roster full of new faces in a proven system. The schedule mixes marquee rematches with the usual home-game traditions, giving fans plenty of reasons to show up, whether the draw is playoff hockey or a Saturday night promotion. Few WHL towns have waited as long for a banner as Everett just did, and watching this group build toward the next one starts at home. Get your Everett Silvertips tickets at Event Tickets Center.
