Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the University of New Brunswick's women's basketball team on their historic season. For the first time in nearly 50 years, the Reds made it to the U Sports women's basketball championship.
Despite fierce competition in the finals, their determination, discipline and unwavering team spirit led to a historic win.
Though they did not bring home gold, they have inspired a generation of young players, including my very own 13-year-old daughter. She was jumping around the living room because she was so excited by the accomplishment.
I ask all members of the House to join me in congratulating the UNB Reds women's basketball team on this remarkable milestone.
