Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend, an Invitational Atom Hockey Tournament was held here in Yellowknife. I had the good fortune of taking in some of these games, especially since two teams from Inuvik had come down to take part. Twenty-two players in all, 11 per team.

Mr. Speaker, team 1 finished second in Pool A. Team 2 finished first in Pool B, and that was the round robin series. On Sunday, the championship games were played. I must say, they were very exciting. The semi-final game went to a shoot-out, which saw the Inuvik Team 2 win. Team 2 went on to play and win the final game with a great come-from-behind victory. It was a weekend to remember for both players and parents from both squads in the Inuvik teams.

There were many players that came along and many parents who helped out the team. As I said, there were 22 players, so I would probably end up forgetting some, but some of the things I will remember from this weekend is the cheering and chants of "Go, Inuvik, Leah and Albert!"

Mr. Speaker, I must mention the parents and coaches who came down with the team and helped throughout the weekend. It was their efforts back home in Inuvik and here in Yellowknife that made memories to last a lifetime.

With that, Mr. Speaker, rarely do I have the opportunity to mention that an Inuvik team came down to the capital city and took the trophy home.

I would like to congratulate the players and their parents. With all of the families watching the children playing made me think of my family back home, so I would like to send greetings back to my wife and children.
