Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. Riis:

Lacrosse has never been officially recognized as our national sport.

If there is one thing that is clear across this country, it is the fact that hockey, both as a spectator as well as a participation sport, is an outstanding part of our culture. For that reason I am introducing this Bill officially to declare hockey as our national sport.
