                        COMMENDING THE MAINEIACS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL H. MICHAUD

                                of maine

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 3, 2007

  Mr. MICHAUD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend the Lewiston 
Maineiacs for their 4-3 victory over their Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, 
completing a 4 game winning streak and advancing the team to the Quebec 
Major Junior Hockey League President Cup Finals. Since 2003, the 
Maineiacs have brought crowds to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee, and 
they have enjoyed spectacular success this season.
  Off the ice, the team's players and their mascot, Lewy, are fixtures 
throughout the greater Lewiston-Auburn community, visiting local 
businesses, promoting reading and academic achievement in the schools, 
and supporting youth sports for the area children and young adults.
  The Maineiacs have had an excellent season and much credit is due to 
the hardworking players and their coach, Clem Jodoin. With a 50-14 
record regular season record--the best in the league--the Maineiacs 
moved quickly through the playoffs and will play in the 2007 President 
Cup Finals this Friday.
  I would like to commend the team for their tremendous performance 
this season and their continued involvement in their local community.
  Go Maineiacs!
