Jay Hill Urges Canadians to Vote
for McBride in Hockeyville Challenge
Wednesday, June 7, 2006
OTTAWA – Proudly wearing the blue McBride Hockeyville
T-shirt, the Honourable Jay Hill, Member of Parliament for
Prince George-Peace River and Chief Government Whip, made
the following statement during Question Period in the House
of Commons today:
“There is no question that McBride, BC, located
in my constituency of Prince George-Peace River, and one
of the 25 finalists in the CBC Kraft Hockeyville Challenge,
deserves the honour of being named Hockeyville, Canada.
When 80 percent of the village’s population showed
up to participate in a community hockey event, it was
obvious that McBride truly is Hockeyville. If that wasn’t
enough to prove McBride’s unparalleled passion for
hockey, people actually painted their sidewalks blue in
honour of their local hockey team, the Blue Grizzlies!
Beyond its great taste in colour, McBride’s Hockeyville
video presentations are well worth viewing at www.cbchockeyville.com.
I am confident that once Canadians experience this small
glimpse of McBride’s commitment to hockey and its
unequalled community spirit, that they will understand
why the Hockeyville judges have been so impressed.
Before midnight eastern time tonight, people should cast
their votes for McBride, British Columbia, Canada’s
one and only Hockeyville.”
