This Member’s Statement was presented by Roland Butler in the House of Assembly on Tuesday, March 11, 2008
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Port de Grave
MR. BUTLER:

Robert Slaney of Upper Island Cove, and former member of the Cee Bees Minor Hockey League, has been short-listed as one of the five finalists for the Marcel Robert Trophy Award.

Robert is a proud member of the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, and this coveted award is for the Scholastic Player of the Year.

Mr. Speaker, to be selected as one of the top five is a testament to Robert’s commitment to both hockey and education.  Robert is enrolled in the business administration program at Cape Breton University.  He attended a final review for this award on March 3, 2008, and the winner will be announced on April 2 in Montreal at the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Golden Puck Awards.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all members to join me, along with Robert’s parents and family, in wishing him every success on April 2.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
