Eastern Conference play in the WHL has long run through Saskatchewan, and few divisions match the depth found in the East. Prince Albert claimed both the East Division and the Eastern Conference during the 2025-26 campaign, edging out longtime rivals in the Saskatoon Blades and the Regina Pats for the top spot. That competitiveness has turned the East into one of the tightest races in junior hockey, with every point mattering by the second half of the schedule.
Home games take place at the Art Hauser Centre, a rink that has hosted Raiders hockey since 1971 and seats roughly 2,580 fans, with room for several hundred more standing along the concourse. A 2006 renovation brought new seating, updated dressing rooms, and the Ches Leach Lounge, a banquet space that doubles as a gathering spot on game nights. The building's compact bowl keeps the crowd close to the ice, giving even cheap seats a clear view.
The 2026-27 slate mixes home dates at Art Hauser Centre with road trips across the East Division, and matchups against the Moose Jaw Warriors and the Brandon Wheat Kings carry extra weight given the tight divisional race. Weekend series against Saskatchewan-based clubs typically draw the biggest crowds, and early-season dates against Central Division opponents give fans a first look at how the East stacks up. Every game adds another data point in a race that rarely settles until March.
Prince Albert has lifted the Ed Chynoweth Cup twice, first in 1985 and again in 2019, and the franchise added a Memorial Cup title that same year. The Raiders returned to the league final in 2026 for the first time since that 2019 run, ousting the Red Deer Rebels in the first round before falling to the Everett Silvertips in the championship series. That trip to the final has raised expectations for another postseason chase.
Few junior hockey towns rally around their team quite like Prince Albert, where the Art Hauser Centre turns into a wall of green and gold on game nights. With a roster built to contend again and a schedule full of meaningful divisional matchups, this looks like a good season to be back in the building, cheering the Raiders on.
