Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the passing of my good friend Allan Andrews, also known as the “Hockey Prof”. As the founder of Andrews Hockey Growth Programs Inc., Allan impacted the lives of countless athletes around the world. Generations have benefited from his wisdom both on and off the ice and through his mentoring. His innovative curriculum has been emulated across the country and beyond. It was his unique combination of commitment to professional hockey development and personal human development that made Andrews Hockey Growth Programs Inc. successful. Numerous NHL players benefited from the program, including Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, Brad Richards and Adam McQuaid, to name a few. Allan Andrews' many accomplishments earned him the Order of Canada in 2017, and he was later inducted into the P.E.I. Sports Hall of Fame. I would like to extend my condolences to his wife Lois and his family for their loss of Allan, and I thank Allan for his immeasurable contribution to the sport of hockey and to the personal development of many young aspiring athletes. To Al I say we will continue to dream big.
