To see Phil and Tony Esposito, Frank and Pete Mahovolich, Brad Park, Ken Dryden, Bobby Orr, Yvan Cournoyer, and of course Paul Henderson, to name just some of these superstars, was inspiring.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2992898\" data-originallang=\"en\">The <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> and I were there and it is something special when we could say, \u201cThanks, and job well done\u201d to our hockey heroes for the memories and pride they instilled in us.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2992899\" data-originallang=\"en\">Were it not for Vito Frijia, this would not have happened. He has our sincerest thanks for a job well done.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2992894\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, ceux qui sont suffisamment \u00e2g\u00e9s se souviendront exactement o\u00f9 ils \u00e9taient il y a 40 ans lorsque Paul Henderson a marqu\u00e9 le but c\u00e9l\u00e8bre qui a permis \u00e0 l'\u00e9quipe du Canada de remporter le match et la s\u00e9rie qu'elle disputait contre les Russes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2992895\" data-originallang=\"en\">Qui pourrait oublier comment Phil Esposito a inspir\u00e9 ses co\u00e9quipiers et son pays en encourageant les Canadiens \u00e0 appuyer leur \u00e9quipe, qui \u00e9tait en difficult\u00e9 au milieu de la s\u00e9rie?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2992896\" data-originallang=\"en\">Aujourd'hui, qui peut oublier Vito Frijia, cet homme de London dont la g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9 et la fiert\u00e9 canadienne extraordinaires lui ont permis de r\u00e9unir \u00e0 lui seul les membres de l'\u00e9quipe du Canada afin que nous puissions leur rendre hommage pour leur contribution au sport, \u00e0 la fiert\u00e9 et \u00e0 l'esprit canadiens?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2992897\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cette \u00e9quipe de h\u00e9ros nationaux exceptionnels s'est rendue \u00e0 Toronto la semaine derni\u00e8re pour \u00eatre c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9e et honor\u00e9e. Cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement inspirant a r\u00e9uni Phil et Tony Esposito, Frank et Pete Mahovolich, Brad Park, Ken Dryden, Bobby Orr, Yvan Cournoyer, et bien s\u00fbr, Paul Henderson, pour ne nommer que quelques-unes de ces grandes vedettes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2992898\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> et moi \u00e9tions l\u00e0, et nous avons eu la chance exceptionnelle de remercier et de f\u00e9liciter nos h\u00e9ros du hockey pour les souvenirs et la fiert\u00e9 qu'ils \u00e9voquent en nous.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2992899\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sans Vito Frijia, cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement n'aurait pas eu lieu. Nous lui adressons nos remerciements les plus sinc\u00e8res pour cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement r\u00e9ussi.</p>"
