              CONGRATULATING MINNETONKA 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. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Minnesota's 2011 AA 
State girls' hockey champions, the Minnetonka Skippers. In their first 
ever tournament appearance, the Skippers skated to victory with an 
impressive 3-2 win over the Edina Hornets.
  After nearly three periods of nail-biting action, with 39.6 seconds 
left on the clock, Amy Peterson scored her second goal of the game 
solidifying their place in Minnesota hockey history.
  Under the direction of Head Coach Eric Johnson, the Skippers ended 
their season with a remarkable 29 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie.
  The message on the team's T-shirt says it best: ``All Out. All Game. 
All Season. All It Takes Is All You've Got.'' The Minnetonka girls' 
hockey team gave it their all, all season. Their talent, dedication and 
passion truly makes the Minnetonka girls' hockey team champions.
  Congratulations, Skippers.
