Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the Trois-Rivières Lions for their historic victory on Saturday, when they defeated the Toledo Walleye to win the Kelly Cup in the East Coast Hockey League finals.
The Trois-Rivières Lions are the only Canadian team in that professional hockey league, and this was the first time that the team participated in the Kelly Cup finals. It is safe to say that Trois-Rivières is at the top of their game these days.
I want to congratulate all the Lions players and their head coach, Ron Choules. I also want to give a big shout-out to goalie Luke Cavallin, who was named series MVP, and to Alex Beaucage, a Trois-Rivières native and the pride of his hometown today.
I wish the same success to the Edmonton Oilers in their match this evening. Canada is behind them.
