On February 24th, 2002, the Canadian Men's Hockey team ended a 50 year period by beating the United States of American to capture the gold medal at the XIX Winter Games in Salt Lake City. This came within three days of a similar win by the Women's hockey team, who won their first gold medal in the sport.

We, the undersigned, believe that this occasion should be commemorated by a national statutory holiday known as "Hockey Day".
