  (Mr. STAUBER asked and was given permission to address the House for

  Mr. STAUBER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Hermantown boys 
hockey team, the 2022 Class A Minnesota State hockey champions.

is not just a proud tradition of ours; for

the players, coaches, families, and fans, it is truly a way of life.
  It brings me great joy to see these athletes represent some of the 
best parts of our great Eighth District as State champions.
  This group of hardworking young players has shown what dedication, 
passion, and unwavering commitment can accomplish. It is a true example 
of American exceptionalism.
  I also honor the coaches for being outstanding role models and 
leaders to the Hawks this entire season. Head coach, Pat Andrews, and 
assistant coaches: Nate Buck, Matt Swanson, and Chad Huttel guided the 
team to not only the school's fourth State championship, but also a 
winning season concluding with 29 wins with only 2 losses. The Hawks 
secured the championship with an exciting 3-2 win over Warroad.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate every player, coach, and fan who lifted 
the Hermantown Hawks to victory. They have made our district so proud, 
and I wish every team member the best as they continue their hockey 
careers.
