         CONGRATULATIONS TO THE EDEN PRAIRIE GIRLS HOCKEY TEAM

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Eden Prairie 
Girls Hockey Team for winning the Minnesota High School State 
championship last weekend.
  The Eagles prevailed in a tight contest over Maple Grove in the title 
game when Lauren Eberle scored the game-winning goal in overtime. The 
3-2 victory marks the third State title for Eden Prairie in the last 11 
years. Eden Prairie was led by goals from Anna Gravelle and Rachel 
Werdin, along with a strong performance between the pipes by Alexa 
Dobchuk.
  Madam Speaker, it takes commitment, it takes hard work, and it takes 
teamwork and dedication to achieve a State championship. This is even 
more especially impressive with the amount of time that these student 
athletes spend together in their studying, excelling in school, and 
participating in other extracurricular activities.
  Congratulations to the players, to the coaches, to the families, and 
to the fans of the Eden Prairie Girls Hockey Team. Our community is 
very proud of you.
