Mr. Speaker, over the Christmas holidays the majority of Canadians were riveted to their TV sets as our junior men's hockey team dominated the round robin series and advanced to the final game versus the Russian federation.
Throughout the tournament these young men played with passion, dignity and pride while representing their country.
I am very proud Nunavut was represented on Team Canada by our own young star, Jordin Tootoo. Everyone in Nunavut was honoured by his contribution to the national team and for bringing international attention to our new territory. We especially liked all the posters written for him.
I thank all the great fans and sponsors who gave their support to the Canadian junior men's hockey team. Congratulations.
