WHEREAS, The talented Gilmour Academy boys ice hockey team is, indeed, to be heartily commended for decisively earning this year's OHSAA State Championship crown. Indeed, the squad's performance in the 2026 state tournament, which included their 5-2 victory over Cleveland St. Ignatius to secure the title, reflects an outstanding collective effort by a gifted group of athletes, and without exception, the Lancers have devoted countless hours to training and practice in order to ensure peak conditioning.

Despite sometimes grueling pressure, they have consistently maintained their composure and morale, exhibiting strength, speed, stamina, and agility in every challenging encounter. Time and again, they have risen to the occasion, amply demonstrating their unflagging determination, and their impressive maturity and finesse have earned them widespread respect, even among their most formidable rivals; and

WHEREAS, By weathering a rigorous schedule and prevailing over a host of adversaries, the members of the Gilmour Academy boys ice hockey team have learned much about dedication, self-discipline, leadership, and perseverance. Their championship is a measure of their stalwart commitment to the sport, and their indomitable spirit has made their families, friends, and coach, John Malloy, incredibly proud; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, applaud the Gilmour Academy boys ice hockey team on its brilliant 2026 season and wish its members continued success in all of their future endeavors; and be it further
