                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 25, 2007

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Texas 
Brahmas Hockey team on their first season in the city of North Richland 
Hills. The Texas Brahmas are returning to the ice this year to start 
their tenth season at the NYTEX Sports Centre in North Richland Hills 
on Saturday, October 27, 2007 against their Northeast Rival, the 
Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs.
   The NYTEX Sports Centre has been revamped and reopened in great 
anticipation for the upcoming hockey season. The new home to the Texas 
Brahmas sits in the beautiful city of North Richland Hills, Texas. 
Under the head coach Dan Wildfong, the Brahmas look to continue their 
winning tradition this season.
   I offer my congratulations to Mayor Oscar Trevino, the North 
Richland Hills City Council, and their Economic Development Department 
for bringing yet another economic victory to their fine city. The 
atmosphere that accompanies the Brahmas will further show that North 
Richland Hills is the City of Choice to Live, Work and Play.
   I am very proud to represent such a victorious team in my District. 
I wish the Texas Brahmas great luck in their upcoming season in North 
Richland Hills, and congratulate their winning spirit. Their 
persistence, teamwork, dedication, and commitment should serve as a 
source of entertainment through their competitive spirit that is now a 
part of North Richland Hills and 26th District.
