The CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game is an annual event in which forty of the top NHL Entry Draft eligible prospects in the Canadian Hockey League play against each other in an all-star game environment. Players are able to boost their draft ranking with the National Hockey League scouts and general managers attending. Each team is led by a celebrity coach, usually Don Cherry and Bobby Orr.
From 1992 to 1995 the event was known as the CHL All–Star Challenge, between the three constituent leagues of the CHL. In 1996, the Canadian Hockey League entered into a partnership with the National Hockey League to create a prospects game.[1] Rosters for the event are chosen in conjunction with the NHL's central scouting and general managers.[2] The CHL announced Home Hardware as the corporate title sponsor of the event starting in 2000,[1] followed by Bank of Montreal (BMO) in 2014,[3] Sherwin-Williams in 2017,[4] and Kubota in 2020.[5]
