This Week in Everett Sports: WHL Championship Final Arrives, Bryce Miller Is Back, and the Homestand Begins
This is the week. The one Silvertips fans have been waiting for since October. The one AquaSox fans get to enjoy with a legitimate Mariners pitcher walking out of the home dugout on a Wednesday night. The one that makes Everett feel like a real sports city.
Here’s everything happening in Everett sports May 4-10, 2026.
1. WHL Championship Final: Silvertips vs. Prince Albert Raiders — Games 1 & 2 at Angel of the Winds Arena
The opponent is confirmed. Sunday night the Prince Albert Raiders beat the Medicine Hat Tigers 7-6 in Game 6 of the WHL Eastern Conference Final to win the series four games to two. Riley Boychuk scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and finished with two goals. The Raiders were clinging on late — Liam Ruck scored for Medicine Hat with seven seconds left — but Prince Albert held on.
The Raiders are coming to Everett.
Game 1: Friday, May 8 at Angel of the Winds Arena (time TBA pending TSN broadcast confirmation)
Game 2: Saturday, May 9 at Angel of the Winds Arena
The Silvertips are 12-1 in these playoffs. They swept Kelowna. They swept Penticton. Anders Miller’s .948 save percentage is playing at a historically rare level for a goaltender 12 games into a WHL playoff run. Matias Vanhanen leads the team in scoring. Landon DuPont has been the clutch-goal machine. Prince Albert is a legitimate Eastern Conference champion — Owen Corkish had a hat trick in their Game 5, and Daxon Rudolph has been one of the most productive players in the entire playoffs. This is a real series.
Tickets are available through the Silvertips’ Playoff Ticket Central page and Ticketmaster. Playoff fan packs, ticket-and-drink bundles, and group options (8+ tickets) are all available. For a 12-1 team in its first WHL Championship Final appearance in years, these games will sell. Don’t wait.
2. AquaSox vs. Hillsboro Hops — Six-Game Homestand at Funko Field (May 5-10)
The Frogs are back at Funko Field after a 3-3 road trip in Tri-City. They went 3-3 — splitting the series with the Viñeros, going into a late-inning lead on Sunday and watching Tri-City’s four-run seventh erase it. Not a great way to end a road trip, but Brandon Eike’s sixth homer of the season in the series finale is a reminder that this offense has pop.
Now they’re home against the Hillsboro Hops (D-backs High-A affiliate) for six games:
Tuesday, May 5 (Cinco de Mayo): 7:05 PM
Wednesday, May 6: 7:05 PM — Bryce Miller rehab start
Thursday, May 7: 7:05 PM
Friday, May 8: 12:05 PM (afternoon game — double your Friday sports: catch this, then head to AOTW for Game 1 that night)
Saturday, May 9: 7:05 PM
Sunday, May 10 (Mother’s Day): 1:05 PM
3. Bryce Miller Rehab Start — Wednesday, May 6 at 7:05 PM
This is the game to circle if you can only make one this week.
Mariners starting pitcher Bryce Miller returns to Funko Field on Wednesday night for what could be his final minor league start before heading back to Seattle. His April 24 outing here was something — 3 scoreless innings, 47 pitches, 6 strikeouts, 98+ mph, didn’t allow a baserunner until the third. That’s not a guy going through the motions. That’s a Mariners starter who was looking sharp and wanted everyone in the building to know it.
Miller had a 2.94 ERA in 2024 over 180 innings. He’s the kind of arm the Mariners need back healthy for a playoff push. Watch how he looks coming out of the stretch, how his slider breaks in the first two innings — that’ll tell you whether he’s ready to return to Seattle or needs one more extended session.
Either way, Wednesday night at Funko Field is worth showing up for.
4. Washington Wolfpack Fall to Albany 42-34 on Saturday
The Washington Wolfpack hosted the defending Arena Crown champion Albany Firebirds on Saturday at AOTW for Teacher’s Night and fought hard before falling 42-34. Arena Rookie Jaiave Magalei had a significantly better performance than his first game, and the Wolfpack defense created some big plays — but the Firebirds, who came in with the best record in the AF1, had too much firepower to overcome.
Wolfpack are now 0-2 on the season. Next home game: Saturday, May 23 vs. the Beaumont Renegades at AOTW, 3:00 PM.
5. The Friday You Can’t Miss
Let’s map out Friday, May 8 for you, because it’s genuinely one of the better sports days Everett has had in years.
12:05 PM: AquaSox vs. Hillsboro Hops at Funko Field. Afternoon baseball on a Friday. Pack a lunch, bring sunscreen, watch the Frogs.
Evening: Silvertips vs. Prince Albert Raiders, WHL Championship Final Game 1, at Angel of the Winds Arena. Time TBA but expect a 7:00-7:30 PM start pending TSN confirmation.
Two Everett sports events on one Friday. Use your time wisely.
The Big Picture
Everett is two months into a sports spring that has genuinely delivered. The Silvertips are 12-1 in the playoffs and playing for the Ed Chynoweth Cup. The AquaSox have a pair of legitimate prospects in Eike and Celesten drawing real attention from Mariners fans. A Mariners rehab starter is using Funko Field as his tune-up venue. Angel of the Winds Arena is busy every weekend.
The new downtown stadium — if the $120M project holds together — is the venue that anchors all of this long-term. The AquaSox affiliation requires it. The USL pro soccer teams need it. But that’s next year’s conversation. This week, Everett has the WHL Championship Final at AOTW. That’s enough.
