THEY'RE 20. They're blonde. They're kind of hot. Oh...and they are also twins. Meet Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux, guaranteed to be top of every picture editor's shot list at next year's Winter Olympics.

TALENTED TWINS: Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux have both been named on the US women's hockey roster for next year's Winter Olympics

"Finding out Jocelyne and I will both be going to the Olympics was awesome," said Monique.

"I think when it set in, we both looked at each other and gave each other a look that I don't know how to describe, it's just one of those things you don't need words for."

The siblings, who are enrolled at the University of North Dakota, have both been scoring goals for fun in College hockey.

But their greatest fear was one would be selected and other would not.

"All of the dreams I have regarding hockey or other sports has always included my sister," added Monique.

"Whenever people have asked in the past about what my dreams are, I've always answered it with 'our' or 'we'."

College coach Brian Idalski believes the twins - who have dual Canadian and American nationality - will deliver in Vancouver.

"I think both of those kids are extremely gritty, competitive, have a strong desire to compete and do well," he said.

"Canada is a very big, strong and physical team.  Team USA overall has a good skill level, but I think they are missing some of the elements of toughness which they are going to need when they play Canada.

"The twins obviously bring that. They are not afraid of physical play or competing and battling for pucks, along with putting pucks in the net."
