Ross Jones, 15, and Paul Chambers, 15, have become the first boys from Chelmsford Junior Ice Hockey to be selected for a Great Britain team.
They were due to be travelling to Holland with the Great Britain Under 16 team, to take part in an international tournament in Tilburg over the weekend.
Unfortunately, Paul was involved in a road accident in December, breaking his leg and could not play, but he still went to Holland to support his team, crutches and all!
Ross had also recently been selected for the England U17 team, who will be playing Scotland in a week's time, during the British National finals at Humberside.
