The U.S. Division features the five teams from the United States and consists of the Everett Silvertips, Seattle Thunderbirds, Spokane Chiefs, and Tri-City Americans.

Other games will be held at individual locations in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Currently, there are no games scheduled in Portland, though there are some games locations and times yet to be determined.

MARCH UPDATE: In the start in what is sure to be an unusual season for the Winterhawks, the team is an even 3-3 after their first six games in March for eight points. This includes their 7-4 win over the Seattle Thunderbirds on March 28 to close out the month. An encouraging sign is that two of the three losses came in overtime. The Winterhawks have scored 20 goals against 16 goals allowed. Portland is 1-1 at home and 2-2 on the road and stand in second place in the U.S. Division of the Western Hockey League. In first are the Everett Silvertips who stand at 5-0 (10 points). The Silvertips have also scored 20 goals, while allowing just two in their first five games. The Winterhawks are back in action on April 2 when they host the Tri-City Americans. The puck drops at 6:05 (PST).

MONTHLY UPDATE: May started out with a couple of losses, but the Winterhawks came back and closed out the 2020-21 season with four straight victories. That included three wins over the Tri-Cities Americans and one over the Spokane Chiefs.

The Western Hockey League announced in April that the 2021 WHL Playoffs would be cancelled, shortly after the news that the 2021 Memorial Cup and the 2020-21 Ontario Hockey League season were shelved.

The Winterhawks finish their season with a mark of 13-8-3 with 29 points; just nine points behind the Everett Silvertips (19-4-0, 38 points). Portland's second-place finish in the United States Division. They scored 96 goals against just 72 allowed. The numbers likely would have been good enough to earn a playoff bid had the playoffs not been cancelled.

Portland will look to use the offseason to build up their roster and shoot for a U.S. Division title and make a run toward the Memorial Cup.
