 Commending and congratulating the Quinnipiac University men's hockey 
  team for winning the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic Association 
             Division I Men's Hockey National Championship.

Whereas, on Saturday, April 8, 2023, the Quinnipiac University men's hockey team 
        (referred to in this preamble as the ``Quinnipiac Bobcats'') won the 
        2023 National Collegiate Athletic Association (referred to in this 
        preamble as ``NCAA'') Men's Hockey Championship with a 3-2 win over the 
        Minnesota Golden Gophers, at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida;
Whereas the 2023 national championship is the first national championship for 
        the Quinnipiac Bobcats;
Whereas the Quinnipiac Bobcats have made the NCAA Championship tournament in 8 
        of the last 10 seasons;
Whereas Jacob Quillan was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2023 NCAA 
        Championship tournament, finishing the NCAA Championship tournament with 
        5 goals and setting a new Quinnipiac University record for most goals 
        scored in a single tournament;
Whereas Rand Pecknold, the head coach of the Quinnipiac Bobcats, has led the 
        team for 29 years and transformed the Quinnipiac Bobcats from a Division 
        II program to a Division I powerhouse; and
Whereas the National Championship was played in front of 20,000 people in Tampa, 
        Florida, and was the most watched ``Frozen Four Final'' game in more 
        than 10 years: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) commends the Quinnipiac University men's hockey team 
        for winning the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic Association

            (3) respectfully requests that the Clerk of the House of 
        Representatives transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution 
        to--
