Impact Cootes is finding a rhythm now -- he's scored in four straight games and has a total of 16 points over his last nine contests. The Canucks prospect is up to 18 goals, 45 points and a plus-16 rating through 32 WHL appearances between Prince Albert and Seattle this season.

Logs three points in WHL win Cootes scored a goal and added two assists in WHL Prince Albert's 6-0 win over Lethbridge on Friday.

Impact Cootes is up to 19 points in 14 outings with the Raiders, a nearly identical pace (1.36 per game) compared to what he did with WHL Seattle earlier in the season. In total, he has 17 goals, 25 helpers and a plus-14 rating over 31 appearances this season. The Canucks prospect was nearly NHL-ready to begin the 2025-26 campaign, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him get another long look in training camp ahead of 2026-27.

Two points with new team Cootes scored a goal and added an assist in WHL Prince Albert's 5-3 loss to Edmonton on Saturday.

Impact Cootes' whirlwind year continues, as he's now in his fourth different team environment. He's up to 25 points over 17 outings in the WHL between Prince Albert and Seattle after a Tuesday trade sent him to a top team in the league. That was just after his time with Team Canada at the World Junior Championship, where he had two goals over seven games. The Canucks prospect should benefit from playing for the Raiders the rest of the year, and it's possible he'll compete for NHL minutes to start 2026-27.

Impact Cootes has four goals and two assists over his last four contests. He's up to nine goals and 21 points through 14 outings at the WHL level this season. The Thunderbirds' captain has plenty of talent to elevate his scoring totals into the upper tier of the WHL even after spending some time in the NHL at the start of the campaign.

Six-point eruption for T-Birds Cootes scored twice and added four assists in WHL Seattle's 7-3 win over Vancouver on Saturday.

Impact Canucks fans were likely split on this one if they support the local junior team as well, as the future star of the NHL club shredded the Giants in this outing. Cootes is up to five goals and eight assists over eight appearances since returning to the Thunderbirds following an NHL stint to begin 2025-26. It's obvious why the Canucks wanted to give the 18-year-old an audition, as he looks to be too talented to be challenged by junior hockey at this point.

Three-point effort in WHL win Cootes scored two goals and added an assist in WHL Seattle's 4-3 win over Prince George on Saturday.

Impact Cootes' stay in the NHL with the Canucks lasted three games before he went back to junior. He's taken very little time to get back on track with the Thunderbirds, putting up five points in four games since returning to the WHL. The 15th overall pick in 2025 will be just fine -- perhaps even better than fine -- for his brief NHL experience this year, but he needs time to continue growing his game at a lower level.

Headed back to juniors Cootes was reassigned to WHL Seattle on Tuesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Cootes played in Vancouver's first three games of the season, registering zero points, zero shots and three hits. Considering the 18-year-old center racked up 26 goals and 37 assists in 63 regular-season games for Seattle last year, the organization was likely hoping for more out of him during his stint in the NHL. Once Cootes wraps up his season with the Thunderbirds, he could be brought back up for the final few games of the 2025-26 campaign without burning a year of his ELC.
