Mr. Speaker, I want to pay tribute to the hockey team that is the pride of Quebec City and the entire province of Quebec.
By scoring a convincing 6 goals to 2 last night against the Moncton Wildcats, the Quebec Remparts won the Memorial Cup for the second time in the team's history.
Winning this cup comes at the end of a dream season for the red devils of Quebec City. Earning a total of 106 points in the regular season they took the western division championship of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before moving on to the President's Cup finals.
Throughout the year, the Remparts enjoyed support from fans from the greater Quebec City area. On average, more than 8,000 spectators went to the games to cheer on their team at the Colisée de Québec.
The Bloc Québécois wants to congratulate the players, the staff, the members of the Quebec Remparts organization, and, more specifically, their head coach, Patrick Roy. Congratulations. You are outstanding ambassadors of Quebec City.
