==CJHL Prospects Game==
[[File:CJHL Prospects Game logo.jpg|right|155px]]
For the first time in its history, the Canadian Junior Hockey League Prospects Game was a part of the WJAC festivities. Just like the previous two Prospects Games, the event is actually two "prospect" games with the President's Cup going to the winning goal aggregate.
===Summary===
====Game One====
West Prospects' Adam Tambellini scored a rebound goal in overtime on East's Brock Crossthwaite to give the West the come from behind victory. Despite being outshot 44-30 by the East, the West goes into Game Two with a one goal lead in the goal-aggregate two-game series.
====Game Two====
Again, the West Prospects come back from a deficit (3-2 midway through the game) with a tying goal from Sean McGovern late in the second, Justin Lund scored the winning goal only 28 seconds into the third, and Chase McMurphy scored the insurance marker only 61 seconds later to clinch game two of the Prospects Games. The 5-3 victory gave the West a 9-6 aggregate victory over the East for the series and their fourth Presidents Cup in 7 years.
