CHL, USA Hockey roll out Prospects Challenge showcase
TORONTO — The Canadian Hockey League believes it has found the right recipe and partner for showcasing top-ranked prospects.
Sprinkle in the intense Canadian-United States rivalry, mix it with NHL scouts, draft motivation and the U.S. National Team Development Program, stir with best-on-best competition, and serve it on an international stage.
This concoction is called the CHL USA Prospects Challenge, and will be added to the hockey calendar over the next three years.
The CHL and the U.S. NTDP rolled out the Prospects Challenge project on Wednesday, with the first edition scheduled to face off in November of this year. Specific details on the date, location, and event format will be revealed at a later date.
