House concurrent resolution congratulating the Rice Memorial High School Green Knights boys’ ice hockey team on winning a second consecutive Division I championship
H.C.R.107 is a ceremonial House concurrent resolution congratulating the Rice Memorial High School Green Knights boys’ ice hockey team for winning the 2025 Division I championship, their second consecutive state title. The resolution highlights the team’s undefeated 23–0 season, its dominant 136–17 scoring margin, and the championship game victory over South Burlington at the University of Vermont’s Gutterson Fieldhouse.
The resolution also names the players, head coach Justin Martin, assistant coaches, and team managers, and it directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Rice Memorial High School. As a concurrent resolution honoring a school sports team, it does not amend or create state law, change any statutory duties, or affect public programs or funding; its effect is purely commemorative and official recognition by the General Assembly.
H.C.R.107 has no substantive legal impact on Vermont statutes, regulations, or state agency authority. Its only formal action is to express legislative congratulations and to authorize transmission of the resolution to Rice Memorial High School, serving as an official state commendation for the team’s athletic achievement.
The sentiment surrounding the resolution is strongly positive and celebratory. The bill text itself is highly laudatory, emphasizing the team’s undefeated season, championship performance, and coaching staff, and there is no evidence of opposition, controversy, or divided votes in the available record. The absence of committee transcripts or recorded votes suggests it was treated as a routine honorary measure.
There are no notable points of contention in the available materials. Because the resolution is ceremonial and nonbinding, it does not appear to have raised policy disagreements, fiscal concerns, or legal objections. The only substantive content is the recognition of Rice Memorial High School’s boys’ ice hockey team and the formal acknowledgment of their championship season.
