        TRIBUTE TO THE OSWEGO HIGH SCHOOL LADY BUCS HOCKEY TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. WILLIAM L. OWENS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 3, 2010

  Mr. OWENS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Oswego 
High School Lady Bucs hockey team for their victory in the 2010 New 
York State Girls High School Hockey Championships.
   On Saturday the 13th of February, high school hockey fans were 
treated to a great championship game between some of the most skilled 
players in the state when the Lady Bucs defeated Skaneateles in the 
final game 3-0. I understand that the Lady Bucs' championship win 
claimed the school's first team state title since the varsity boys 
bowling team accomplished the feat about two decades ago.
   I want to congratulate the championship girls' team of Whitney 
Daino, Erika Lazzaro, Sage Dudley, Taylar Cianfarano, Kaitlin Friel, 
Sarah Mancuso, Danielle Faivus, Caroline Dougherty, Karissa Favata, 
Taite Phillips, Sarah Gosek, Lainey Celeste, Tessa Opet, Devyn 
Hutcheson, Caty Darling, Madisyn Whalen and Allison Yule on their hard 
work. I would also like to recognize Taylar Cianfarano for being named 
the tournament's most valuable player, as well as Devyn Hutcheson, 
Kaitlin Friel and goalie Madisyn Whalen for being selected to the all-
tournament team.
   I also want to extend my congratulations to head coach Dan Bartlett 
and assistants Beth Arduini and Andrew Lazzaro, who built upon an 
impressive legacy to take the team to victory. The elite status of 
these athletic young women could not have been reached without the 
combined dedication of these coaches.
   Madam Speaker, the Lady Bucs' teamwork sets a strong example for the 
community and reminds us all what is possible when we come together. 
Again, congratulations to the Lady Bucs on their success.

                          ____________________
