The 2025 CHL USA Prospects Challenge is scheduled for November 25 and 26.
The wait is finally over as the 2025 CHL USA Prospects Challenge kicks off Tuesday night in Calgary. The two-game event will be hosted by the WHL, with Calgary and Lethbridge serving as host cities. Here is the format for the prospect showcase.
The two-game event will feature Team CHL taking on the U.S. National Team Development Program. Game one is scheduled for November 25, while Game 2 is on November 26. This is how the point formatting will work in order to determine an overall winner:
- Two points for a win and no point for a loss, regardless whether a game ends in regulation time, overtime or a shoot-out
- If a game is tied after regulation, the teams will play one five-minute three-on-three sudden-death overtime period with a goal ending the game
- If the game is still tied after the overtime period, a three-player shoot-out will be held. If the game is still tied after three players have shot for each team, the shoot-out will continue in sudden-death fashion using different players until a team wins the game. The team winning the game will receive two points but the losing team does not receive a point
- If after completion of the second game, the series is tied at two points each, a ‘third’ game will be played to determine the series winner. There will be a flood after the conclusion of the second game. The teams will then change ends and play a three-on-three 20 minute period(s) until a goal is scored. The winning team will win the series
The 2025 CHL USA Top Prospects Challenge will be broadcast on TSN and RDS. Both games are scheduled for 6:00 p.m. MT. Some WHL players to watch include Ryan Lin, J.P. Hurlbert and Daxon Rudolph.
