Honoring the Olentangy Liberty High School boys ice hockey
team as the 2023 State Champion.
WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 135th General Assembly 1
of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Olentangy Liberty High School 2
boys ice hockey team on winning the 2023 State Championship; and 3
WHEREAS, A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the 4
Olentangy Liberty High School boys ice hockey team have combined 5
talent and competitive spirit with the highest ideals of good 6
sportsmanship to establish themselves as a truly exceptional squad. 7
With admirable dedication, the Patriots have worked diligently toward 8
attaining ultimate proficiency in their sport, and as a result, they 9
defeated a tough Hunting Valley University School team by the score of 10
6-2 to win the first state title in program history; and 11
WHEREAS, The achievements and leadership of the Patriots are a 12
justifiable source of pride and an excellent reflection on them, their 13
families, their school, their community, and their head coach, Kevin 14
Alexander. The success of any athletic endeavor depends largely on the 15
ability of the coaches to provide both guidance and inspiration, and 16
in leading their team to victory, Coach Alexander and his assistants 17
have not only helped the players to develop their talents to the 18
fullest, but they have also instilled in them a valuable sense of 19
determination, perseverance, and camaraderie; and 20
WHEREAS, With athletic competition playing such an important role 21
in the total education of our young people, we are overjoyed to pay 22
tribute to these fine athletes and their outstanding coaches for a job 23
well done. The maturity and experience the players have gained through 24
participation in hockey will greatly aid them in meeting the 25
challenges of the future; therefore be it 26
