CONGRATS EDINA GIRLS HOCKEY CHAMPS
(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 want to offer a big congratulations to
the Edina Girls hockey team for winning its very first Minnesota high
school State championship.
The Hornets dominated in the championship game just last weekend,
winning 4-0. Senior forward Lolita Fidler led the way with an early
goal in the first period, finishing with two goals. On the other end,
senior goalie Anna Goldstein stood on her head throughout the
tournament, allowing just one goal in three games.
The girls squad finished with an impressive 28-1-1 record under head
coach Sami Reber, who is a former Edina hockey player herself, bringing
the title to her alma mater.
Edina's run of excellence is a testament to their program's serious
dedication on the ice, in the classroom, and in their community. On top
of giving their all in their sport, these students also strive
academically and contribute in positive ways at home and among their
peers.
Mr. Speaker, we are so proud of these student athletes, and it is fun
to see Edina bringing their very first State high school hockey
championship home.
Go Hornets.
