How to fill in your bracket
Published bracket or your own picks?
Published matchups show the opponents and series wins reported for this edition. Team TBA means an opponent has not been announced. The blank worksheet leaves room for your picks and scores; it is not an official projection or a contest entry.
Series lengths and reseeding
In 2027, the first round is best-of-five: three wins decide the series. The second round, conference finals and WHL Championship are best-of-seven: four wins are needed. Advancing teams are reseeded within their conference, so later opponents are not fixed by the position of a box on the page.
Eastern and Western paths to the final
Follow each conference through the first round, second round and conference final. The two conference champions meet for the Ed Chynoweth Cup. The numbers beside teams are games won in the series, not goals scored in a single game.
Printable bracket questions
Can I print a blank bracket before the playoffs?
Yes. Choose Blank prediction worksheet and print or download the PDF. Fill in teams, series wins and your champion as the picture develops.
Will the bracket fit on one sheet?
The standard 16-team bracket is laid out for one landscape Letter or A4 sheet. Select the same paper size in your print dialog and use fit to page if needed. Your browser may add its own headers and footers; turn them off for a clean sheet.
Why is a later-round opponent still TBA?
A team may advance before other series finish, and reseeding can affect its opponent. This worksheet does not invent a matchup from the box above it. Use the interactive bracket for the latest confirmed pairings.
