                         HONORING CLIFF KOROLL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE QUIGLEY

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 4, 2016

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Cliff Koroll, a 
Chicago Blackhawks legend.
  Cliff Koroll is a Canadian Ukrainian born in Canora, Saskatchewan, 
Canada. He played his youth hockey for the Saskatoon Wesleys and helped 
them win a Provincial Championship. Cliff continued his education with 
his childhood friend Keith Magnuson at the University of Denver. Both 
players were standouts and were key factors in winning the NCAA 
Championship for Denver University.
  Both Cliff Koroll and Keith Magnuson signed with the Blackhawks in 
1969. Cliff played 11 seasons in the NHL, all with the Chicago 
Blackhawks and became their Assistant Coach for six seasons. I believe 
Cliff to be one of the proudest players to wear the Blackhawks sweater.
  Cliff is the current President of the Chicago Blackhawks Alumni 
Association, a group of retired Blackhawks players that give back to 
the Chicago community. Throughout the hard work and dedication of the 
late President, Keith Magnuson, and other key individuals, the Chicago 
Blackhawks Alumni Association has become a huge success, giving over 
one million dollars in college scholarships to the most deserving high 
school hockey players in Illinois. The group is also very supportive of 
the Ronald McDonald House.
  Cliff has also been supportive to the Chicago Legal Clinic, which has 
a thirty-four year history of providing legal services to the poor and 
elderly in the Chicago area. While serving a host of legal needs, the 
Clinic focuses on vulnerable populations, such as immigrants, the 
disabled, victims of domestic violence, those facing foreclosure, 
children in the midst of divorce, consumers with serious debt issues, 
and those confronting urban environmental problems.
  Cliff has been inducted into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame, 
Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame, The Chicago Sports Hall of Fame, 
Illinois Amateur Hockey Hall of Fame, the University of Denver Hall of 
Fame, and the Ukrainian National Museum in Chicago. I ask my colleagues 
to join me in honoring and celebrating his work and accomplishments.

                       SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate of February 
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees, 
subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This 
title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate 
Daily Digest--designated by the Rules Committee--of the time, place and 
purpose of the meetings, when scheduled and any cancellations or 
changes in the meetings as they occur.
  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this 
information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this 
information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the 
Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
  Meetings scheduled for Tuesday, January 5, 2016 may be found in the 
Daily Digest of today's Record.
