This year’s jersey also pays hompage to the past; in the CHL’s 50th season, the logo is the one used from 1986-1996 showcasing how our future recognizes the past.
Team CHL will wear the red jersey in Game 1 against the USNTDP on Nov. 25 in Calgary and will wear white in Game 2 in Lethbridge a day later.
Building off of one of hockey’s greatest rivalries between Canada and the United States, the CHL USA Prospects Challenge will see players from the CHL and NTDP’s U18 team compete before hundreds of NHL scouts and thousands of fans in an effort to improve their draft stock ahead of next year’s NHL Draft. Game 1 will take place in Calgary Nov. 25 while Lethbridge will host Game 2 a day later.
The 2025 CHL USA Prospects Challenge will be broadcast live across Canada on TSN and RDS. Puck drop is set for 6:00 p.m. MT / 8:00 p.m. ET both nights. Tickets are available now at chl.ca/prospectschallenge.
