The city of London is going to play host to a brand-new hockey series in November between Canada and the United States.
The Canadian Hockey League has unveiled the CHL USA Prospects challenge, which will feature some of the top draft-eligible prospects heading toward the 2025 NHL Entry Draft next June.
“The CHL USA Prospects Challenge will be a can’t-miss, two-game series on the prospect calendar not only for this season but for years to come,” CHL president Dan MacKenzie said. “We look forward to bringing it to life in London and Oshawa this November and providing our incredible fans with a chance to come watch a future generation of NHL stars.”The event will take over from the CHL Top Prospects Game, which was introduced in 1996 and featured Don Cherry and Bobby Orr as celebrity coaches.
Teams will earn two points for a win and zero points for a loss, even if a game ends in overtime or a shootout.
