Medicine Hat Tigers secure 19th straight win, 7-3 against the Edmonton Oil Kings

Jan 16, 2026 | 10:59 PM

The Medicine Hat Tigers secured their 19th straight win and 2000th win in franchise history, 7-3 over the Edmonton Oil Kings.

Tigers defenseman Bryce Pickford set a single-season franchise record for goals by a defenseman with his 33rd of the season, a goal that would go on to serve as the eventual game-winner.

Pickford’s goal also set a WHL Internet-era record for goals in a single season by a blueliner.

Liam Ruck added a pair of goals and an assist, while his twin brother Markus added one goal and three assists in the win.

Jonas Woo, Shaeffer Gordon-Carroll, and Andrew Basha also added tallies in the win.
