The Raiders defeated the Calgary Wranglers, Medicine Hat Tigers and the Kamloops Blazers in the WHL playoffs en route to a WHL Championship.

In game three, the Raiders defeated the Greyhounds 8-5, with Dan Hodgson recording 5 assists in the match. The two teams would play each other again in the semi-finals where Prince Albert would prevail once again. The Raiders won the Memorial Cup by defeating the Shawinigan Cataractes 6-1 in the championship game.
In 2019, the Raiders claimed their second Ed Chynoweth Cup as WHL Champions. After claiming the Scotty Munro Memorial Trophy as WHL Regular Season Champions with a record of 54 wins, 10 losses, 2 overtime losses, and two shootout losses, the Raiders defeated the Red Deer Rebels (four-game sweep), the Saskatoon Blades (four games to two), and the Edmonton Oil Kings (four games to two) en route to a WHL Championship Series matchup with the Vancouver Giants.
