Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the coaches and players of the Prince Albert Mintos hockey club on winning the Telus Cup national midget hockey title this past Sunday in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
The Mintos defeated the Grenadiers de Châteauguay by a score of 4-3 when Dakota Boutin scored the winning goal in triple overtime. Prince Albert's goaltender Connor Ingram was spectacular in goal with some 60 saves.
The victory gives the Mintos its third national midget championship in nine years. It is just the sixth team in the history of Canada to win the National Midget Championship at least three times.
On behalf of all of the constituents of the riding of Prince Albert, I congratulate the Mintos head coach Ken Morrison and all the players on this historic win. They should enjoy their national championship. Their hard work and discipline has paid off.
