                   CONGRATULATING WAYZATA 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, Indiana has its basketball, Texas has its 
football, but in Minnesota it doesn't get much better than the annual 
high school hockey tournament.
  I would like to congratulate the Wayzata High School boys hockey team 
for taking home the title with a tough 5-3 victory for the championship 
over Eden Prairie. The Trojans, under Coach Pat O'Leary, fought back 
from a 3-1 deficit to claim their first ever State hockey title.
  The State hockey tournament is always a tremendous event, with fans 
from around Minnesota descending on St. Paul to fill up the Xcel Energy 
Center to cheer on their teams.
  The players at Wayzata should be very proud of their accomplishments 
on and off the ice. I want to recognize their commitment not just to 
their sport, but to spending time in the classroom and in the community 
to become outstanding student athletes.
  Mr. Speaker, the family, friends, and fans are very proud of the 
Wayzata High School hockey team. We offer them congratulations.
