For Immediate Release Statement FROM MPP LAURIE SCOTT RECOGNIZING CODY HODGSON “It gives me great pleasure to tell the legislature that the young men of the Under 18 Canadian Hockey Team are returning home today from the International Ice Hockey Federation Under 18 Championship with Gold Medals around their necks. There are two very special members of that team who I am proud to say have learned to play the fastest game on ice in none other than Haliburton, Ontario. Centre-man Cody Hodgson – was the captain of the Canadian team, and top scorer of the tournament with 2 goals and 10 assists. Many of the members of this house will know his father as the long time local MPP and Minister Chris Hodgson. Forward Matthew Duchene was also an essential part of the Canadian Team’s championship with 5 goals and 3 assists. Hodgson is eligible for the NHL entry draft in 2008 and is highly touted to be picked early in the first round. Duchene will be eligible for the 2009 entry draft and is also considered to be a prime pick for an NHL team. Both of these talented athletes began their hockey careers in Haliburton, and are now team-mates on the Brampton Battalion of the Ontario Hockey League. The success of these young men is rooted in the dedication of the parents, coaches and players of the Haliburton arena. As the Member of Provincial Parliament for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes Brock – I am pleased to congratulate the pride of Haliburton’s hockey program. Thanks to the valuable contribution of these two world-class players from Haliburton – Canadian Hockey is right were it belongs – the very best in the world.”
