ranked Burlington-Colchester SeaLakers, whose roster also includes players from Milton and Winooski, for the Division I girls’ ice hockey title, the fans who were gathered at the University of Vermont’s Gutterson Fieldhouse anticipated a great evening of exciting competition, and they were definitely not disappointed, and Whereas, the Comets took an early lead, scoring the first period’s only goal, but the second period told a different tale as a vigorous back-and-forth ensued, with the SeaLakers tying the score and then pushing ahead on a second goal, which BFA-St. Albans soon matched, and Whereas, with the game tied 2–2, the challenge was on, and, at 13:32 into the second period, the SeaLakers proved ready to move, scoring the decisive—and the contest’s final—goal for a sweet and well-deserved 3–2 victory, and Whereas, the triumphant SeaLakers were Leah Boyd, Madison Bean, Bianca Flanagan,
Camryn Poulin, Caroline Burdick, Austen Fisher, Fiona McHugh, Holley MacLellan, Ava Dallamura, Norra Moody, Hanna Coughlin, Brooks DeShaw, Abigail Wheeler, Annabelle Lekstutis, Ellie Young, Marzie Schulman, and Ana LaBelle, and Whereas, the team’s thrilled coaches were co-head coaches Jamie Rozzi and Molly Beauregard and assistant coaches Matt Schofield and Maggie DiMasi, now therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:
That the General Assembly congratulates the 2024 Burlington-Colchester Division I
championship SeaLakers girls’ ice hockey team, and be it further Resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send a copy of this resolution to
Burlington and Colchester High Schools.
