The CHL has announced CHL team roster ahead of the inaugural CHL USA Prospects Challenge 2024 which will take place next month, November 26-27.

22 players from the QMJHL, WHL and OHL were selected from a list of the top prospects eligible for the 2025 NHL Draft, as generated by a survey of all 32 NHL teams.

The CHL team is made up of 13 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders. The OHL and WHL have 10 players on the team, while the QMJHL is represented by forwards Justin Carbonneau and Caleb Desnoyers.

Below are the 10 OHL players who will play in the upcoming event along with their current season stats:

Advantages:

C, Brady Martin (Soo Greyhounds) – 11GP, 4G, 7A
RW, Porter Martone (Brampton Steelheads) – 9GP, 10G, 10A
C, Michael Misa (Saginaw Spirit) – 11GP, 15G, 7A
C, Jake O’Brien (Brantford Bulldogs) – 9GP, 5G, 2A
LW, Malcolm Spence (Erie Otters) – 10GP, 4G, 8A

As expected, the seven OHL players who received an “A” grade from NHL Central Scouting on their 2025 draft watch list — Porter Martone, Michael Misa, Matthew Schaefer, Jake O’Brien, Brady Martin, Malcolm Spence and Kashawn Aitcheson — were on the team.

Kitchener Rangers defenseman Cameron Reid received a “B” grade and Quinn Beauchesne a “C.” Goaltender Jack Ivankovic received a “B”, but you can absolutely make the case that he’s an A-rated prospect. He’s a special goaltender.

Porter Martone and Michael Misa have had incredible debuts, quickly throwing their hats into the ring to battle for the top overall spot in 2025. This event will be a great opportunity for scouts to witness how these two- there in particular will play against the United States Under-18s. National Team Development Program.

This team plays against NCAA competitors throughout the season and its players have been playing with each other for two years. This experience should, in theory, make them a more structured team, meaning it will be more difficult to find space and time to play.

On an interesting note, Martone and Aitcheson will be teammates for a few games after they had a fairly heated altercation on October 12 during the Brampton vs. Barrie game, which resulted in Aitcheson suspended for two matches.

Aitcheson isn’t the only player on the team to be suspended this season.

Steelheads Goalie Jack Ivankovic decided to drop the gloves on a rare goalkeeper struggle with Niagara IceDogs goalie Owen Flores returning October 6. Both goalkeepers were suspended for four games because it was a fight with a goalie and because their fight was the second during stoppage of play.

As we get closer to the two game dates in late November, we’ll get a glimpse of what fans can expect to see from the OHL stars on the CHL team.
