A RESOLUTION
Honoring the Sylvania Northview High School hockey team as the 2012 OHSAA State Champion.

       WHEREAS,  The members of the Senate of the 129th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Sylvania Northview High School hockey team on winning the 2012 Ohio High School Athletic Association State Championship; and

       WHEREAS,  A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the Sylvania Northview High School hockey team have combined talent and competitive spirit with the highest ideals of good sportsmanship to establish themselves as a truly exceptional squad. With admirable dedication, the Wildcats worked diligently toward attaining ultimate proficiency in hockey, and as a result, they defeated a tough Lakewood St. Edward team by the score of 5-2 to win this year's OHSAA State Championship title and finished the season with a 31-1-3 record; and

       WHEREAS,  The achievements and leadership of the Sylvania Northview High School hockey team are a justifiable source of pride and an excellent reflection on the players, their school, their families, their community, and their coach. The success of any athletic endeavor depends largely on the ability of the coach to provide both guidance and inspiration, and in leading his team to victory, Coach Mike Jones has not only helped each athlete to develop his talents to the fullest but also instilled in each a valuable sense of determination, perseverance, and camaraderie; and

       WHEREAS,  With athletic competition playing such an important role in the total education of our young people, we are extremely pleased to pay tribute to these exemplary athletes and their outstanding coach for a job well done. The maturity and experience the players have gained through participation in sports will greatly aid them in meeting the challenges of the future; therefore be it

       RESOLVED,  That we, the members of the Senate of the 129th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the Sylvania Northview High School hockey team on its tremendous season and salute the players and coach as some of Ohio's finest citizens; and be it further

       RESOLVED,  That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Sylvania Northview High School hockey team.

I, Vincent L. Keeran, hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of Senate Resolution No. 207, adopted by the Ohio Senate, March 20, 2012.
