Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At the conclusion of the annual Super Soccer event held in Yellowknife, I am particularly proud to state that two teams from Inuvik were victorious and the other teams played exceptionally well. One of those victorious teams was the 12-and-under girls team from the Inuvik Sir Alexander Mackenzie School, under the guidance of Bill and Maureen Gowans. The team members were:

• • Leah Sulyma,
• • Alyssa Carpenter,
• • Kendra Sittichinli,
• • Renel Landry,
• • Ellen Binder,
• • Jaynita Pascal,
• • Joey McCarthy,
• • Nicole Lindsay, and
• • Shayna Allen.

The other team I would like to congratulate for being victorious in their age category, the 20-and-under girls team who represented Samuel Hearne Secondary School. Two dedicated Beaver volunteers, Graham and Oded, coached this team. The team consisted of:

• • Dayna Lennie,
• • Crystal Debastien,
• • Karen Tingmiak,
• • Joyce Storr,
• • Kristine McLeod,
• • Cheryl Kirby, and
• • Donna Rogers.

Mr. Speaker, over 1,500 young soccer players participated in this most celebrated soccer event, held annually. I am pleased to acknowledge the tremendous success that this annual tournament produces. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
