With training camps starting soon, former University of Alabama-Huntsville hockey players Jared Ross and Mike Salekin have signed on with a pair of professional teams for the 2007-08 season.

Ross returns to the Philadelphia Phantoms for his first full season with the Philadelphia Flyers' AHL club. Traded to the Phantoms midway through last season from the Chicago Wolves, Ross joined former Charger netminder Scott Munroe in the "City of Brotherly Love" and netted four goals and 10 assists in 21 games with the club.
