The Canmore Eagles open a three-game road trip tonight in Bonnyville, looking for a fifth straight win after taking over first place in the AJHL South Division. It’s the first meeting of the season with the Pontiacs, who won four of five against Canmore last year and are coming off a 6–2 win over Devon.
Daoust earns AJHL Player of the Week
Cohen Daoust was named the Canalta Hotels AJHL Player of the Week after putting up six points in three Eagles wins. The fourth-year forward had two assists in a 5–4 win in Olds, scored the power-play winner 2:50 into overtime against Calgary, then added a goal and two assists in Sunday’s 5–1 win over Drayton Valley. He earned AJHL Player of the Game honours in all three contests and enters tonight with 10 points over a six-game point streak. His 22 points in 16 games include eight goals and 14 assists.
It’s his third documented AJHL Player of the Week award. Daoust earned the honour in February 2025 after recording seven points in two road wins, then again in January 2026 after putting up eight points in back-to-back wins over Olds and Calgary.
Eagles have outscored opponents 18–7 during four-game run
Canmore started the streak with a 6–1 win over Devon on Halloween, followed by a 5–4 win in Olds, a 2–1 overtime victory over Calgary and Sunday’s 5–1 win over Drayton Valley. The Eagles have scored at least five goals in three of the four games and held three of those opponents to one goal. Against Calgary, they outshot the Canucks 47–13 before Daoust broke through in overtime. A win tonight would give Canmore its longest winning streak of the season, surpassing the four straight victories it opened the year with.
Bonnyville had the upper hand last season
Canmore won last year’s home opener 6–1, but Bonnyville took the next four meetings, including a 6–1 win at the AJHL Showcase and a 7–1 win at the Nest. In the season-series finale at R.J. Lalonde Arena, the Eagles led 4–2 late in the third before the Pontiacs scored twice in 29 seconds and won 5–4 in overtime. Aidan Tkachuk scored twice for Canmore that night.
Penalty kill takes a step forward
Four days after giving up three power-play goals in Olds, the Eagles kept Drayton Valley off the board with the man advantage in Sunday’s win. The Thunder have an AJHL-high 24 power-play goals and are converting at 35.3 per cent. Canmore faces another test tonight against a Bonnyville power play that ranks fifth in the league at 24.1 per cent. The Pontiacs scored three power-play goals in their 7–1 win at the Nest last season and used another to tie the series finale late in regulation.
