    The first-ever CHL USA prospect challenge is complete, with Team CHL taking both games this year. Overall, it was a great event, with plenty of WHLers stepping up over the two days. From game-winning goals to a ridiculous amount of shots on net, here is a look at some WHL standouts from Game 2, which saw Team CHL win 3-2. 

    Cole Reschny- Victoria Royals:

    As he has in the WHL, Cole Reschny delivered when his team needed him the most. The Victoria Royals center scored with under a minute and a half, breaking the tie and helping Team CHL pull off the sweep. A projected first-round pick in the 2025 Draft, Reschny also went four for six in the faceoff dot while all three of his shots were registered as dangerous shots. 

    Cameron Schmidt- Vancouver Giants:

    In Game 2, Cameron Schmidt did what he does best: get pucks on goal. The Vancouver Giants' right-winger recorded 12 shots, with six registering as dangerous shots. Overall, it was a strong two days for the projected first-rounder as Schmidt showed off just how dangerous he can be with the puck on his stick. 

    Jackson Smith- Tri-City Americans:

    On the blue line, one standout was Tri-City Americans defenceman Jackson Smith. Another projected first-rounder, Smith, was solid at both ends of the ice, finishing with four shots on goal. A big defenceman who can rack up the points, Smith may have shot up some team's drafts list after his Game 2 performance.
