Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, along with my colleague for Inuvik Boot Lake, Mr. Roland, I have congratulations as well on the Inuvik hockey tournament. Mr. Speaker, not all of the exciting hockey tournaments were held in Salt Lake City, Utah over the past few days.

The annual IRC Native Hockey Tournament was held in Inuvik this past weekend as well. As usual, it was a very popular event, which was well attended by all of the Delta community residents and athletes.

The results of the competition were as follows: in the B division, the finals were won by the Inuvik Old Dogs, as my colleague from Inuvik said, over the Tuk Warriors four to two. However, in the A division, it was the Tuk E. Gruben's Transport team over the Inuvik Northwinds by a score of seven to four.

My congratulations to the winning Tuk team and thanks to all the players who took part in the tournament, including the teams from Holman and Paulatuk for their contribution to a successful tournament.

Mr. Speaker, this is a great annual sporting event that promotes sportsmanship, teamwork and good fellowship by all participants. I look forward to next year's event. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
