                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                             April 26, 2001

    Mr. Kennedy (for himself and Mr. Kerry) submitted the following 
             resolution; which was considered and agreed to

_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION


 
   Congratulating the Eagles of Boston College in Massachusetts for 
  winning the 2001 National Collegiate Athletic Association Men's Ice 
                          Hockey Championship.

Whereas the Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey team had a remarkable season, 
        concluding by defeating the tenacious Fighting Sioux of the University 
        of North Dakota 3-2 in overtime;
Whereas the victory by the Boston College Eagles marked the first national 
        championship in ice hockey for Boston College since 1949;
Whereas the championship victory concluded a brilliant season for Boston College 
        in which the team compiled a record of 33 wins, eight loses, and two 
        ties;
Whereas the winning overtime goal for Boston College by Krys Kolanos produced 
        the victory;
Whereas coach Jerry York, who grew up in Watertown, Massachusetts and starred on 
        the 1967 Boston College team, deserves great credit for taking the 
        Boston College Eagles to the ``Frozen Four'' NCAA finals for the past 
        four years;
Whereas eleven players on the Boston College Eagles team grew up in 
        Massachusetts or played high school hockey in the state;
Whereas the Eagles victory was also made possible by goals by Chuck Kobasew and 
        Mike Lephart, and by goalie Scott Clemmensen, who played a magnificent 
        game by making 34 saves for the Eagles; and
Whereas the Boston College Eagles are flying high after winning the 2001 
        National Collegiate Athletic Association Men's Ice Hockey Championship: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate commends the Eagles of Boston College for 
winning the 2001 National Collegiate Athletic Association Men's Ice 
Hockey Championship.
