             CONGRATULATING EDINA HIGH SCHOOL 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 rise to commend the Edina High School 
hockey team for becoming repeat State champions.
  This weekend, the Edina Hornets won the State high school hockey 
championship when they cruised to an 8-2 victory in the tournament 
finals against the tough Lakeville North squad. The Curt Giles-coached 
team became the very first AA high school hockey team to win back-to-
back State championships in 20 years.
  Led by senior captain and Minnesota Mr. Hockey finalist Tyler Nanne, 
the Hornets rolled through the three-game State tournament winning by a 
combined score of 17-4.
  It is certainly a testament to the hard work of these young men that 
they spend countless hours on the ice honing their craft while still 
balancing their schoolwork, family time, and other endeavors. Becoming 
State champs does not happen overnight but through years of dedication.
  Mr. Speaker, the teachers, the parents, the students, and the entire 
school district are tremendously proud of these young student athletes.
  Congratulations again to the high school hockey champions in Edina.
