Alec Regula: our analysis
2025-26 season: 29 GP, 0 G, 3 A, 3 PTS, -16 +/-, 14:28 TOI. WAR -0.2 (272nd of 325) · PAL 18, very poor.
In 2025-26, Alec Regula, 26, posts a PAL Rating of 18 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.2 ranks 272nd among 325 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: power play (66, above average). On the other hand, discipline (1, among the weakest in the league) and creation (7, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+0.1); his biggest cost: penalties (-1.4).
Contract-wise, his Value score of 33 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Alec Regula's story
As a boy he spent time inside the Red Wings' dressing room at Joe Louis Arena, an early window into the pro game while growing up in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan. Regula developed through local programs — starting with the Plymouth Stingrays in the Little Caesars Amateur Hockey League, then moving to Compuware and the Detroit Honeybaked U-13 squad — before continuing both his studies and hockey at Cranbrook Schools.
At Cranbrook he played two seasons, helping the team to a Division 3 state championship as a freshman and improving his offensive output as a sophomore, earning second-team Division 3 all-state recognition. After being selected by the London Knights in the OHL draft, Regula first skated in the USHL with the Chicago Steel, contributing to their Clark Cup run and appearing in the CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game.
Joining the Knights for 2017–18, he registered noteworthy scoring as a rookie defenseman and was named to the OHL First Team All-Rookie. His play led to Detroit selecting him in the third round, 67th overall, of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. In October 2019 his rights were moved to the Chicago Blackhawks in the trade for Brendan Perlini, and the Blackhawks signed him to an entry-level contract in November of that year.
Regula's professional path has included further roster movement: in June 2023 he was part of a multi-player deal that sent him to the Boston Bruins. The 2024–25 season began with him on injured reserve, and on December 11, 2024 he was claimed off waivers by the Edmonton Oilers; an injury then curtailed his season. On May 2, 2025 he agreed to a two-year, two-way extension with Edmonton and is listed as a prospect playing with the Bakersfield Condors in the AHL.
On the ice, Regula plays as a defenceman who can jump into the play and provide offence while maintaining his defensive duties. His background across junior circuits in the U.S. and Canada, combined with a series of transactions at the pro level, has shaped him into a depth blueliner for an NHL organisation while getting regular minutes at the AHL level.
