I rise in this House today to once again
recognize successful hockey in St. Anthony, this time by
congratulating the members of the St. Anthony Polars
Atom Hockey Team on winning the Atom ‘I’ provincial
championship at a recent tournament in Botwood.
I would like to congratulate the players who pulled
of a stellar win, going undefeated in their six-team
tournament to pull off their gold medal finish. Their
hard work, relentless effort and attention to detail
certainly helped led to their team’s success.
I also wish to extend my congratulations to coaches
Jim Pilgrim, Eddie Woodford, Todd Taylor and Kerry
Decker. Their hard work and dedication to the team has
certainly contributed to their victory. Sports are very
important to the youth in my district and I commend the
individuals who dedicate their time to coach them.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House today to
join with me in congratulating this team and their
coaches and wish them all well as they participate in
future competitions.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
