| 3 | Representatives wish to congratulate the members of the U.S. | ||||||

| 5 | 2022 Winter Olympics on February 16th in Beijing; and
| ||||||
| 6 | WHEREAS, Before advancing to the gold medal match against | ||||||
| 7 | Canada, the U.S. Women's Team defeated Finland, the Russian | ||||||
| 8 | Olympic Committee, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic; and
| ||||||
| 9 | WHEREAS, The U.S. Women's Hockey Team has competed against | ||||||
| 10 | Canada for the Olympic gold medal in every Olympic tournament | ||||||

| 13 | Pyeongyang games; and
| ||||||
| 14 | WHEREAS, The 2022 Olympic gold medal game was a close one, | ||||||
| 15 | with the U.S. team coming within one goal of tying the | ||||||
| 16 | Canadians late in the third period; the resulting outcome was | ||||||
| 17 | simply due to a lack of time as opposed to a lack of | ||||||
| 18 | determination; and
| ||||||
| 19 | WHEREAS, Five women from the great state of Illinois are | ||||||
| 20 | members of the U.S. Women's Olympic Hockey Team, including | ||||||

| 3 | be it
| ||||||
| 4 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
| 5 | HUNDRED SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
| 6 | with great pride, we congratulate the U.S. Women's Olympic | ||||||
| 7 | Hockey Team, especially these great athletes from Illinois, | ||||||
| 8 | for bringing home the silver medal; and be it further
| ||||||
| 9 | RESOLVED, That suitable copies of this resolution be | ||||||
| 10 | presented to Megan Bozek, Savannah Harmon, Jesse Compher, | ||||||
| 11 | Kendall Coyne Schofield, and Abbey Murphy as a symbol of our | ||||||
