Ten teams from across the Province competed in the two-day tournament, with Dorset Collegiate of Pilley’s Island and HCC Huskies of St. Anthony competing in the championship game. The winning team played a fantastic game and won with a score of 6 to 4. Not only were they proud to have won the provincial championship banner, but they were extremely proud to have done it in front of their home crowd.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate each player of the winning team. They are: Jonathan Young, Ian Warren, Steven Fowler, Alexander Campbell, Alexander Powell, Jamie Spearing, Adam Davidson, Grant Young, Zachery Hedderson, David Budgell, Jordan Richards, and Matthew Carter.

I also wish to extend my congratulations to the coaches, Brendan Reardon, Daniel Bock and Jeff Blackler. Their hard work, relentless effort and attention to detail have certainly led to their team’s success.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join with me in congratulating the HCC Huskies Ball Hockey Team and their coaches and wish them the best of luck as they participate in future competitions.
