Calgary, Alberta -The Canadian Junior Hockey League, in partnership with NHL Central Scouting, announced today the rosters for the CJHL Prospects Game scheduled to be played in Oakville, Ontario on January 20, 2015.
The CJHL Prospects Game was created to showcase the top NHL prospects in the CJHL as identified by NHL Central Scouting.

I am excited to work with this talented group and proud to represent Western Canada in Oakville.”
