Looking ahead
Recruit before 2026 Haoxi Wang becomes a Terrier, he will be an IceDog for the remainder of the OHL season. The San Jose Sharks’ 2025 second-round pick was traded from last-place Oshawa to playoff contender Niagara on Jan. 8, looking to bolster its defensive corps.
The 6-foot-1 defenseman had a 2-11-13 mark in 28 games for the Generals. In four starts for Niagara, he has a goal and three assists. Wang assisted on a pair of goals — including the overtime game winner — in Sunday’s 4-3 win over second-place Brantford.
In his first game with the Ice Dogs, Wang scored his third goal and assisted on the game winner in a 4-2 victory over Sudbury, earning the game’s third star.

“Frolov has been nothing but great for us, but obviously we have to give up a good player to get a really good player, and adding Wang to our blue line with Chromiak gives us a good push for the playoffs,” said Niagara IceDogs General Manager Frank Evola.
2026 recruit Egor Shilov had primary assists on both Victoriaville goals, but the Tigers were ahead. 3-2by Drummondville. With 56 points (21G,35A), Shilov, who was ranked 17th among North American skaters by Central Scouting for the 2026 NHL draft, leads all QMJHL rookies in scoring.
