The evening match up will feature the best 18 to 20 year old (1990-1989 born) players from the CJHL and the CCHL. With over half of the players already committed to NCAA programs, or on the radar of NHL scouts, the caliber of play will be outstanding. These leagues represent the majority of players named to both Team Canada East at the World Junior Challenge and Team East in the Prospects Challenge. The CJHL and CCHL have both taken leadership roles in forging an exciting future for Junior A hockey. With the focus on player development and advancement along with a priority on academic opportunities, both groups have been widely recognized in collegiate and professional ranks as a viable path to higher levels of hockey.

The Commissioner of the CJHL, Kevin Abrams stated; "It is exciting to once again host the Battle of Ontario in Hockey Town Canada. The community of Pembroke ranks among Canada's best hockey cities and their support is overwhelming for events such as this. Complete rosters will be announced on Saturday, December 12, 2009 along with management staff for the event. Single game tickets will be selling for $10 (Adults) and a two-game package for $15.
