            CONGRATULATING HAYWARD HIGH SCHOOL'S LADY 'CANES

  (Mr. DUFFY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DUFFY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Hayward High 
School's Lady 'Canes for winning the WIAA State Hockey Championship. In 
only their sixth year of playing varsity-level hockey, the Lady 'Canes 
defeated the Onalaska Hilltoppers in a thrilling 5-2 match. The Lady 
'Canes out-skated their top-ranked opponent for three periods and took 
home Hayward High School's first hockey championship. Let me tell you 
what, as a Hurricane, it has been way too long.
  With great leadership from their coaches, combined with the 
perseverance of the players, they showed the true spirit Wisconsinites 
have for sports and competition. These ladies would get up at 6:45 in 
the morning before school, training 5 to 6 days a week, participating 
in community service, and never losing sight of the importance of 
education.
  So, today, I stand before you with a pink tie saying congratulations 
to Hayward High School's Lady 'Canes for a job well done. 
Congratulations.


                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Collins of Georgia). Members are 
reminded not to traffic the well while other Members are under 
recognition.
