The CHL Top Draft Prospect Award is given out every year to the top eligible prospect player in the Canadian Hockey League for the annual NHL entry draft. The award was first given in 1991, but not awarded from 2003 to 2005. The Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) awards the equivalent Michael Bossy Trophy, awarded to the top draft prospect in its league.{{cite book|last=Demers|first=Denis|title=QMJHL Media Guide|publisher=Canadian Hockey League|edition=2017–2018|location=Boucherville, Quebec|pages=228–251|language=English, French|url=http://chl-wordpress-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/app/uploads/2017/09/22065239/LHJMQ_QMJHL_GuideMedia_201718_LowRez_BasRez.pdf|isbn=978-2-9811465-7-1}}{{Dead link|date=July 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} There is no equivalent award in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) or Western Hockey League (WHL).
