DU sophomores Tyler Ruegsegger and Rhett Rakhshani will learn next week where they will be on Christmas when USA Hockey announces its 22-player roster for the 2008 U.S. national junior team. Both players played well at the Evaluation Camp in Lake Placid in August.

The squad that will play in the World Junior Championships Dec. 26 through Jan. 5 in the Czech Republic will be disclosed Dec. 4, live on Versus during the first intermission of the Detroit Red Wings-Montreal Canadiens game.

If Ruegsegger and Rakhshani make the team, they will at least miss the Dec. 28-29 Denver Cup.
