The Guelph Storm are No. 1 for another week. The Canadian Hockey League released its Week 4 Top-10 Rankings on Tuesday, and Guelph (6-2-0-0) kept the top spot after winning both ends of a home-and-home with the Owen Sound Attack on the weekend.

The Québec Remparts (7-1-0-0) stay second on the strength of a seven-game winning streak and an offensive surge from James Scantlebury, while the Victoria Royals (5-1-0-0) hold third after a two-win weekend headlined by a four-goal game from Hayden Moore and strong goaltending from Cole Prelusky. The London Knights sit fourth, leaving the top four unchanged for a second straight week.

The Brandon Wheat Kings are back in the rankings at No. 8, riding five consecutive wins. The Saint John Sea Dogs climb to fifth and the Sudbury Wolves to seventh, while the Medicine Hat Tigers slip to sixth and the Spokane Chiefs to ninth. The Rimouski Océanic hold down the tenth spot.

The full Week 4 rankings: 1. Guelph Storm (OHL); 2. Québec Remparts (QMJHL); 3. Victoria Royals (WHL); 4. London Knights (OHL); 5. Saint John Sea Dogs (QMJHL); 6. Medicine Hat Tigers (WHL); 7. Sudbury Wolves (OHL); 8. Brandon Wheat Kings (WHL); 9. Spokane Chiefs (WHL); 10. Rimouski Océanic (QMJHL).

Guelph's perch at No. 1 carries added weight this season: the Storm host the 2027 Memorial Cup in May. The Week 5 rankings will be released the week of Oct. 19.
