|
|
varsity gold team distinguished themselves by winning the 2019 |
|
|
Texas Amateur Hockey Association High School Blended Division state |
|
|
championship on January 27, 2019; and |

WHEREAS, Returning to the state tournament a year after |
|
|
suffering a disappointing loss to Plano West in 2018, Frisco came |

|
securing a commanding 8-0 victory over McKinney in the title |
|
|
contest; the team will next travel to Cleveland, Ohio, to compete in |
|
|
the national championships on March 28, 2019, and the hard-skating |
|
|
Texans are intent on repeating the success they enjoyed in 2017, |
|
|
when they were crowned national champions; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Throughout the season, the group has excelled with a |
|
|
true team effort, receiving valuable contributions from each member |
|
|
of the roster: Cam Pendleton, Joshua Wright, Michael Mango, Sean |
|
|
Rounds, Michael Kennedy, Zachary Warhoftig, Leyton Andres, Cameron |

|
|
Kruger, Kyle Russell, Marcus Russell, Cullen Hogan, Roman Di |
|

Domizio, Michael Ellis, CJ Bachman, Ian Lotz, and John Muir; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Under the leadership of FIHA President Philip Mango, |
|
|
Director of Hockey Dr. Mike Hogan, and Head Coach Ryan McLean, the |
|
|
Frisco Ice Hockey Association varsity gold squad has reclaimed the |
|
|
mantle of state champions, and its players may take great pride in |
|
|
their accomplishments as they continue their successful season; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
