Again, thank you.
We are very proud, as I stated. Tom Scrimger came to Hockey Canada and said to me, will you take sledge under your wing? We had to work through our members, because of the dollars that would be spent on it. The proudest moment in my life, as president of Hockey Canada, wasn't in Salt Lake City when we won back to back gold medals, but in Torino, in the dressing room with the sledge hockey team. And I can say, with the commitment they have made, they've gone through some very tough times in their lives. When I went into the room, it was special. It was special when we had Wayne Gretzky call them just before they went onto the ice for the gold medal game. Pat Quinn talked to their coach. We used every possible person to make sure they, in sledge hockey, felt they were equal. When we gave out the rings that summer to our junior team, to our women's Olympic team, the sledge team got the same rings and felt they were equal in the sport of hockey.
Tom, I thank you for bringing that to us. We're going to continue to do that. We're going to try to win three gold medals in Vancouver, and sledge hockey will be a big, big part of it.
The one issue that sits in front of us—and I have to take a couple of seconds to get this out—please put on all of your agendas that the biggest obstacle in the game of hockey is rinks and facilities. We need to upgrade our rinks; we need new facilities. If we don't, kids aren't going to be able to play this game of hockey. I know you have so many important things on your agenda, but please make sure that's part of them as you go forward here. We all need them.
