| MR.
BUTLER: |
Mr. Speaker, earlier this session I informed members of
this House that Robert Slaney, a native of Upper Island
Cove, was one of the finalists for the Marcel-Robert
Trophy, as the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s
Scholastic Player of the Year.
In April of this year, I was pleased to announce that
Robert won that award and was now one of three players
to be considered for the Canadian Major Hockey
League’s Scholastic Player of the Year.
Mr. Speaker, Robert Slaney has won it all. On
Saturday, at the CHL’s Golden Puck Awards gala in
Kitchener, Ontario, he was honoured with the league’s
Scholastic Player of the Year Award.
A member of the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles, Robert
ended the season with twenty-six goals, twenty-nine
assists for fifty-five points in sixty-four games, good
enough for fifth in the team scoring. There is no doubt
that with these statistics, coupled with his classroom
accomplishments, Robert is headed for a successful
career in whatever field he chooses.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all hon. members to join me in
congratulating yet another local hero from the great
Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
