                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 21, 2010

  Mr. COFFMAN of Colorado. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride that I 
acknowledge the accomplishments of the 2010 Arapahoe County Ice Warrior 
Pee Wee Hockey Team. The Warriors fought to win the AA Colorado State 
championship and gallantly represented Colorado in the U-12 National 
Championships in Reston, Virginia. The high standards which the team 
met are, undoubtedly, representative of the passion and excellence 
found throughout my district.
  The warriors withheld a Colorado Springs Jr. Tiger hockey team to win 
the State championship 3-2 thanks in large part to the offensive 
prowess of Josh Pusar, Zackary Dym, Jake Dosen, Brandon Yi, Patrick 
Wicker,

Andrej Lysak, Jack Jordan, Josh Fiegl, Andrew McCulley, and Ian Aylmer.
  Despite continually facing older, larger and more experienced teams, 
the boys outhustled and outplayed opponents, demonstrating their 
tenacity and enthusiasm for the game. The defensive work of Charlie 
Kiefer, Jared Duncan, Jake Swenson, Pieter Gesink, Joel Walker, and 
Tanner Broschat cannot be understated and proved instrumental to the 
success of the team.
  I must also acknowledge the indispensable role that goaltenders 
Jackson Schoech and Cameron Bukes played in netminding for the 
warriors: turning away a barrage of pucks and routinely securing 
victory for the Warriors.
  I want to extend my congratulations to head Coach Ken Schoech and his 
assistants Patrick Sullivan, Matt McCarthy, and Charlie Kiefer, who 
helped mold these young athletes into the champions they are today. The 
elite status of the team could not have existed without the leadership 
of these mentors. They not only taught the skills of hockey, but more 
importantly, instilled a spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie in the 
boys that will last long after this season.
