Spitfires' Defenceman Ryan Ellis played in the game last season in Oshawa, ON. Ellis contributed an assist for Team Orr in the 6-1 win over Team Cherry before his 11th overall selection by the Nashville Predators in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Forward Greg Nemisz also participated in the 2008 event in Edmonton, AB, alongside teammate and ninth overall selection Josh Bailey, now playing with the New York Islanders. Nemisz was later selected 25th overall in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft by the Calgary Flames, and recorded an assist representing Team Fuhr/Anderson as part of an 8-4 win over Team McDonald/Vernon. In 2000, Steve Ott of the Spitfires was named Game MVP for Team Cherry in a 6-3 loss to Team Orr, recording two assists. He would later be selected 25th overall by the Dallas Stars in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft.

Home Hardware, a title sponsor since 2000, continues as the title partner of the Home Hardware CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game this season, following a recent three-year corporate partnership extension with the CHL.

Many NHL stars have participated in the Home Hardware CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game over the years including eight first overall selections such as Chris Phillips, Joe Thornton, Vincent Lecavalier, Rick Nash, Marc-Andre Fleury, Patrick Kane, Steven Stamkos, and most recently John Tavares, selected first overall by the New York Islanders in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

Associate sponsors for the event include the Bank of Montreal, Subway and NeilMed. The game will be broadcast nationally by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS.
