CONGRATULATING THE MOUNT SAINT CHARLES GIRLS DIVISION I HOCKEY

TEAM ON WINNING THE 2011 RHODE ISLAND GIRLS HOCKEY DIVISION I STATE

CHAMPIONSHIP

     

     

     Introduced By: Senators Cote, Picard, P Fogarty, Tassoni, and Moura

     Date Introduced: March 30, 2011

     Referred To: Placed on the Senate Consent Calendar

1-1

     WHEREAS, In the nine years Rhode Island has supported interscholastic girls hockey,

1-2

Mount Saint Charles has won six of those titles, and won its second title in a row in 2011 when it

1-3

defeated Bay View 7-1 to sweep the finals series 2-0; and

1-4

     WHEREAS, Mount Saint Charles compiled an outstanding regular season record of 15-1

1-5

and finished in first place by two games in the Division I Girls Ice Hockey playoffs. Mount

1-6

earned a bye in the first round of the playoffs and then dismissed North Smithfield in a 2-0 sweep

1-7

of their series. Mount met second place finisher Bay View in the Championship finals and won

1-8

the first game 2-0 in a tense, low-scoring affair won by a first period goal by Lauren Deguire and

1-9

an empty net goal scored with six seconds remaining in the game; and

1-10

     WHEREAS, Mount blitzed Bay View in the second game by the score of 7-1, to clinch

1-11

the Girls Hockey Division I Championship. Mount demonstrated the depth of its bench when six

1-12

different players scored a goal. In a four-minute bombardment, Mount Saint Charles scored five

1-13

goals and essentially put the game out of reach; and

1-14

     WHEREAS, To win a State Title, everyone on the team, players and coaches, must

1-15

selflessly place team goals ahead of individual ambition and accomplishment. It takes hard work

1-16

and perseverance to prevail in the end. The Mount Saint Charles Girls Hockey Team had those

1-17

qualities in abundance as they were led by Head Coach Stephen Shea and Captains Erin E.

1-18

Rouleau, Caitlin K. Bray, BriAnna B. Narodowy, and Samantha A. Smith. Also contributing

1-19

significantly to the team’s success were starting goalie Sarah A. Erban and teammates MaryKate

2-1

E. Stimson, Allison A. Young, Meredith A. Peppes, Alisha J. Sleboda, Caitlin I. Shea, Kaitlyn M.

2-2

Croke, Marissa C. Heroux, Lauren F. Levesque, Lauren A. Sandbach, Lauren D. Deguire, Briana

2-3

N. Castro, Cassandra M. Czarn, Danielle R. Allain, Allison E. Shea, and Ariana C. Beauregard;

2-4

now, therefore be it

2-5

     RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

2-6

hereby congratulates the Mount Saint Charles Girls Division I Hockey Team on winning the 2011

2-7

Rhode Island Girls Hockey Division I State Championship; and be it further

2-8

     RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and he hereby is authorized and directed to

2-9

transmit a duly certified copy of this resolution to Head Coach Stephen Shea.
