02:05It's an honor for Amalgamated Deers to be sponsoring this competition.
02:10And we've been doing it for the last 42 years.
02:14And I shouldn't say my age, but I've been doing it.
02:17I've been doing the last 25 of them.
02:19So, it's amazing watching the kids as they are up through the stages.
02:26I've seen them in a course of year.
02:28And this year, the ones I used to give awards to are now running this event.
02:34So, it's amazing.
02:36So, on behalf of Amalgamated Deers and its employees, management, and all its owner-armed farmers, it's just a big
02:45honor to support this every year.
02:47Because I know the name has changed over the years.
02:50But the kids still call it the ADL competition.
02:55So, with that, I've got a big congratulations to all the organizers, the parents, the grandparents who get those children
03:02out for the link every morning and evening.
03:04It's a big feat.
03:06I did it myself with my daughter and my son in hockey.
03:10It's a lot of work.
03:11So, a big shout-out to all the parents and all the family members involved.
03:15And a big shout-out to all the organizers who put this together.
03:19A big warm welcome and thank you.
03:29And now, I'll welcome Matt McKay, our MLA for Malpac District, and also representing the province of PEI.

03:43Welcome to our beautiful community in Kensington.
03:46On behalf of the Governor of Prince Edward Island, I welcome everybody here today.
03:52A couple of thank yous as well.
03:54ADL has been a collective sponsor, like Robbie said, for 42 years.
03:58It says itself what a loyal sponsor they have been.
04:02And they've been great for not only figure skating, but for the community and the province as a whole.
04:07To all the volunteers, organizers, thank you for your contributions in and out every year to make this event great.
04:16I think this has been my 11th one I've been able to attend since I was in the MLA.
04:22And I always see it getting bigger and bigger every year.
04:26It's good to see so many children taking up the sport.
04:30To all the kids today, to all the skaters, enjoy your special day.
04:34Have a lot of fun.
04:35Be safe.
04:36And make sure you do thank your parents or anybody that met you here today.
04:40It takes a lot of commitment, not only from you, but everybody that gets you to the rink in and
04:47out every day and every weekend.
04:48So enjoy the rest of your weekend here in Kensington.
04:51Get out and see the community a bit, and have fun.
