Something from the other day — defenseman Radim Mrtka (# 21) was reassigned to the Rochester Americans (Buffalo’s AHL affiliate) after putting up 34 points in the regular season and 2 in the post-season against Penticton. #seattlethunderbirds #chl #whl #buffalosabres
Thunderbirds lose 3-6 to Penticton and finish the series. This was a really strong playoff season and I’m very proud of what the Thunderbirds accomplished. See you next season, boys. #seattlethunderbirds #whl #chl #whlplayoffs
The Thunderbirds will bring it into game five with a 4-3 win over Penticton. First star went to Sklenicka, who had an absolutely insane fifty saves tonight. See you in game five! #seattlethunderbirds #whlplayoffs #whl #chl
Thunderbirds lose game three 4-3 thanks to a late third-period goal from Joe Gramer. Game four tomorrow. If the Thunderbirds lose, the series is over. See you tomorrow. #seattlethunderbirds #chl #whl
Thunderbirds lose game two 1-4 against the Vees. Though we didn’t play as well as last night, I think we played much better than the score would have you believe. Here’s to hoping we get a win on home ice and force this series to game five. #seattlethunderbirds #whl #chl
An analysis post of tonight's game is up! Go check it out :) substack.com/@t1ouitas/p-... #seattlethunderbirds #whlplayoffs #whl #chl
Thunderbirds lose the first game of round one 2-3 to the Vees in OT. Next game will be back in the Vees' home arena tomorrow at 7:05 pm PDT. #seattlethunderbirds #whlplayoffs #whl #chl
Thunderbirds and Vees will go into OT after a fifteen-minute intermission to decide the winner of game one! Longer analysis will definitely come after OT because I have a LOT of thoughts on this game. #seattlethunderbirds #whlplayoffs #whl #chl
Cameron Schmidt got his fiftieth regular season goal tonight (and his forty-ninth). This brings him to a total of six goals across the three games closing out the regular season. #seattlethunderbirds #chl #whl
Thunderbirds end the season with a 4-0 shutout against Spokane. They will be playing the Vees in the first round of the playoffs.
Let’s go get ‘em! #seattlethunderbirds #chl #whl
Thunderbirds win 5-4 over the Winterhawks with an OT winner from Coster Dunn. The tbirds have clinched 7th place and will play Penticton in the first round of the WHL playoffs. Go birds! #seattlethunderbirds #chl #whl
Schmidt nabs his 49th of the season and brings the score up to 4-3 in favor of the Thunderbirds. That's a hatty for Schmidt! #seattlethunderbirds #chl #whl
Thunderbirds will go into the third period tied 3-3 with Portland after Schmidt got a late-period goal. Schmidt is now leading the league with 48 goals this season. This was his second goal of the night. #seattlethunderbirds #whl #chl
The Thunderbirds picked up two points in OT with a 4-3 win over the Chiefs for their last home game. Congrats to all the boys who won awards with the team after, they are all extremely well-deserved. #seattlethunderbirds

Thanks to a goal from Cumby, the tbirds will leave a very long first period tied at one with Spokane and leading in shots on goal. #seattlethunderbirds
Vancouver Giants at Seattle Thunderbirds 03/15 | WHL Highlights 2025-26 #Highlights #SeattleThunderbirds
Thunderbirds lost 3-2 Vancouver and move into seventh place after picking up one point in OT. Definitely something to be desired with the puck handling tonight. Here’s to wishing the boys good luck on Friday. #seattlethunderbirds
Thunderbirds win 3-2 in OT over the Winterhawks. I have so much to say about this game that I will probably make a substack and a proper blog post about it. For now, all I have to say is GO BIRDS! #seattlethunderbirds

Seattle Thunderbirds at Spokane Chiefs 03/13 | WHL Highlights 2025-26 #Highlights #SeattleThunderbirds
Thunderbirds lose 4-0 to Spokane. With Victoria and Portland both getting wins tonight, Seattle slips back into 8th. Hopefully the boys can lock it in for a win against Portland tomorrow. Go birds! #seattlethunderbirds
The Thunderbirds move into 7th place with a 2-0 win over the Royals, giving Sklenicka his 2nd shutout of the season. Three stars of the game to Hocher (3rd), Gard (2nd), and Sklenicka (1st). Go birds! #seattlethunderbirds
Thunderbirds win 5-1 over the Americans and move into playoff contention! They will be in either 8th or 7th, depending on the outcome of Portland’s game against Everett. Go birds! #seattlethunderbirds
Seattle Thunderbirds at Tri-City Americans 03/06 | WHL Highlights 2025-26 #Highlights #SeattleThunderbirds
Thunderbirds lost 4-5 in a shootout. They now have 59 points and need one more OTL to tie with Portland and Victoria, or one win to overtake them both. #seattlethunderbirds
This is, of course, where Portland is standing right now. Everett is guaranteed a playoff spot with 103 points, but the tbirds (56 points) definitely have time to push out Portland (60 points) with a few good games. Go birds! #seattlethunderbirds
3-2 overtime loss for the Thunderbirds means one point towards our playoff race. Slenicka made first star, as he very much deserves. Yes, we could have done better, but things are definitely looking up for us if today’s performance is any indication. Go birds! #seattlethunderbirds
