Two QMJHL venues will host the 2026 edition of the CHL/USA top prospects game this winter.
The third annual CHL/USA top prospects game venues have been selected, and for the first time, the competition will be hosted in QMJHL venues.
Chicoutimi's Georges-Vézina Centre and Québec City's Centre Vidéotron will play host to the two games in early December, featuring the top 2027 NHL draft eligible prospects from the CHL facing the USNTDP U18 class from that year.
This year, the event was held out west, in Calgary and Lethbridge, with the USNTDP winning the showdown, and four QMJHL players selected as part of the team.

This will be the third year of this edition of the competition, with the 2027 edition expected to be held in the U.S. for the first time.
