                 CONGRATULATIONS TO EDEN PRAIRIE HOCKEY

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Eden 
Prairie High School boys' hockey team on winning the 2A State 
championship. It's the team's second State title in 3 years.
  The Eden Prairie Eagles were well matched in the championship game 
against the Duluth East Greyhounds. With the game heading into triple 
overtime, the Eagles came out on top 3-2. This game would actually 
prove to be the longest championship game in the 67-year history of the 
Minnesota State hockey tournament.
  I also want to recognize Eden Prairie senior Kyle Rau, who was named 
Minnesota's Mr. Hockey by a group of NCAA Division I coaches and NHL 
scouts. There's no doubt that Kyle's 41 season goals, including five in 
the State tournament, played a strong role in the Eagles' championship 
victory.
  Congratulations to Coach Smith and Eden Prairie's student athletes. 
We're all very proud of you.
