Albany, April 1, 2026 – Senator Dan Stec (R,C-Queensbury) and Assemblyman Scott Gray (R-Watertown) today welcomed and honored the Potsdam Central High School Girls Hockey Team during their respective Legislative Sessions. The team captured the NYSPHSAA State Championship on February 21, with a 3-2 victory over Adirondack United. Stec and Gray appreciated having the opportunity to spend time with the team and their coaches, and to introduce an official Legislative Resolution to commemorate their tremendous achievement.
“Winning a state championship is an incredible accomplishment and deserves to be celebrated,” said Stec. “It was my pleasure to spend time with the Potsdam High Girls Hockey Team and personally congratulate them and their coaches on their successful season and honor them on the Senate floor with a Legislative Resolution. Congratulations again to the Lady Sandstoners and the Potsdam community!”
“It was a true honor to welcome the Potsdam Lady Sandstoners to the People’s House today,” said Gray. “Watching a group of young athletes from our district reach the pinnacle of high school sports is inspiring, but having the chance to formally recognize their hard work and grit on the Assembly floor is a highlight of this session. This team’s 3-2 victory to clinch the State Championship wasn’t just a win for the school; it was a win for the entire North Country. These young women have set a standard of excellence that makes us all incredibly proud.”
