The Edmonton Oil Kings defenceman will help a four-man leadership group against the top USNTDP prospects.
The Canadian Hockey League has announced its leadership group for the CHL-USA Prospects Challenge, and the Edmonton Oil Kings' Blake Fiddler finds himself with the honor of a letter once again.
Fiddler, son of NHL veteran Vernon Fiddler, captained team USA to a bronze medal appearance at the 2024 Hlinka Gretzky Cup in Edmonton, Alta. The Oil Kings blueliner, considered a top pick for the 2025 NHL Entry draft, has tallied three goals and four assists through 18 games this season.
“Blake has great leadership qualities, which makes this no surprise to us here in Edmonton,” said Oil Kings President and General Manager Kirt Hill. “He has been looked upon by his peers and named a leader through his minor hockey in Dallas and when playing for Team U.S.A internationally. We wish Blake and the entire Team CHL all the best at the event.”
The CHL-USA Prospects Challenge is set to take place on November 26 and 27 in London and Oshawa, Ont.
