| MR.
BUTLER: |
On March 11, 2008, I paid tribute to Robert Slaney of
Upper Island Cove, a member of the Cape Breton Screaming
Eagles Hockey Team, for being selected as one of five
finalists for the Marcel Robert Trophy Award.
Today, Mr. Speaker, I am proud to announce that
Robert was the winner of the coveted Award for
Scholastic Player of the Year in the Quebec Major Junior
Hockey League. As winner, Robert received a grant of
$500 and the Guy Lafleur Student-Athlete Bursary of the
Year for $6,000.
The next stage is set, Robert will compete against
the winner of the Ontario Hockey League and the Western
Hockey League for the C.H.L. Scholastic Player of the
Year Award.
Mr. Speaker, with fifty-five points in sixty-four
games, and excellent classroom statistics, Robert Slaney
is a force to be reckoned with on and off the ice.
I ask all members to join me, along with Robert’s
parents and family, in wishing him every success as he
competes for the title of Canadian Hockey League
Scholastic Player of the Year.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
