...as one of 66 players on the preliminary roster for Canada's team in the U17 World Challenge, an international tourney held during the year-end holidays for top players in the age group one notch younger than the World Junior Championships.

Vukojevic, a 6-2 207 defenseman currently with Green Bay of the USHL and committed to Michigan's incoming class of '19, is one of a handful on the preliminary roster who doesn't currently perform in the CHL (Canada's Major Junior League) even though he was a top draft pick by the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League, a branch of the CHL.

Vukojevic is considered one of the top d-men in the age group internationally and should make it through to earn a position on Canada's final roster for the tourney.
