Mr. Speaker, I would like to mention yesterday's victory by the Foreurs de Val-d'Or hockey team.
This is the Foreurs' eighth season in Quebec's major junior hockey league and they have won the playoffs for the second time in their history.
I am proud of what the team has achieved, particularly considering that it finished in last position last year. I am also proud because my son Samuel plays for the Foreurs.
I also want to mention the performance of all these young players, particularly Simon Gamache, who had at least one point in each of the 21 playoff games to end the series with a record 57 points. He was also awarded the Guy Lafleur trophy.
Maxime Daigneault's performance is also worth noting. At 16 he is the first rookie goaltender to lead his team to the President's cup.
Congratulations to the team, the coaches and all those who took part in this victory.
