Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to inform the House that between December 26 and January 4 the world junior hockey championships will be taking place in my riding of Red Deer.
Everyone in Canada appreciates junior hockey. The people of my riding are incredibly proud to host the best juniors in the world. Red Deer has a great hockey tradition with its Western Hockey League team. Current NHL stars such as Glen Wesley and Mark Tinordi were born in Red Deer.
We look forward to watching all the future stars when they come to play for the world championship. Competitions like this will inspire the next generations to carry on Canada's proud hockey heritage. Come on out, watch the games and enjoy the competition. Together we will all promote Canada's great winter sport.
