On the recordJanuary 5, 2016
Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Cliff Koroll, a Chicago Blackhawks legend. After signing with the Blackhawks in 1969, Cliff enjoyed 11 seasons as their right winger, where he reached the 50-point mark during four different seasons. He also helped lead the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup finals twice and later served six seasons as their assistant coach. His talent led him to be inducted into multiple sports halls of fame, but his greatest accomplishment is leading the Chicago Blackhawks Alumni Association. This group of retired players continually gives back to the Chicago community and has given over $1 million in scholarships to the most deserving high school players in Illinois. Cliff is also a supporter of the Chicago Legal Clinic, which provides legal services for immigrants, the disabled, victims of domestic violence, consumers with serious debt issues, and more. Today I urge my colleagues to join me in honoring and celebrating Cliff's work and accomplishments. ____________________
