Kooper Gizowski is taking the WHL by storm in his final season.
The Western Hockey League announced today (Monday) the Prince George Cougars forward was named the Tempo WHL Player of the Week.
Gizowski, a 20-year-old product of Edmonton, Alta., tallied eight points (4G-4A) and a plus-6 rating in two games in a pair of road victories.
He started his week with a hat-trick performance in a 5-0 road win over the Seattle Thunderbirds on Friday.
Gizowski opened the scoring late in the first period, before recording a power-play goal 1:09 into the second period to give the Cougars a 2-0 advantage. He completed the hat trick midway through the third period with another even strength goal. The veteran forward was named third star of the game for his efforts.
He then followed up by registering five points (1G-4A) in a 9-3 road win over the Tri-City Americans on Saturday.
Not bad for a waiver claim.
With 18 points (9G-9A), Gizowski is enjoying a nine-game point-scoring streak to open the 2025-26 WHL campaign that is tied for the longest point-scoring streak so far this season.
Gizowski’s 18 points have him tied for second in scoring across the WHL.
Next up, the Cougars host the Medicine Hat Tigers (7-4-0-0) on Wednesday at CN Centre.
