As a team overall, the Whalers lead the SMJHL in goals for with 4.07 goals per game. A big part of that is their powerplay, which is second in the league at 25%.

The offense has been a huge part of the Whalers winning ways, but so has their defense. Vancouver is tied for first in the SMJHL with 2.73 goals against per game. Their penalty kill is second, at 93.55 %. Finally, the Whalers give up the least shots in the league as they give up 27.76 shots per game.
