Mayor Mike Brown proclaimed Monday as Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux Day in Grand Forks. The honor comes after the Lamoureux twins won a third gold medal at the Women’s World Championship in Ottawa.

Here’s the transcript of the official proclamation:

WHEREAS, Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux helped Team USA capture its fifth gold medal in the past seven years by defeating the Canada 3-2 in the 2013 International Ice Hockey Federation World Championship. It marked the third gold medal in the event for the Lamoureuxs, who were two of the top scorers for the United States; and

WHEREAS, The Lamoureuxs were key parts of Team USA’s 2010 silver medal-winning Olympic hockey team, thrilling fans with their elite speed, stick-handling and teamwork; and

WHEREAS, The Lamoureuxs completed a full class load at the University of North Dakota, during the Olympic year, which enabled them to earn their undergraduate degrees, begin graduate school and be on track to graduate with their Master’s Degrees in 2014; and

WHEREAS, The Lamoureuxs are excellent students, effectively managing their athletics and academics, as evidenced by their perfect grade point averages in Graduate School, and

WHEREAS, In March, the Lamoureuxs completed two of the more storied Division I college hockey careers, leading UND to its second-straight NCAA tournament berth with Jocelyne as the all-time leading scorer in the WCHA, followed by her sister, Monique; and

WHEREAS, The Lamoureuxs have received multiple nominations for the Patty Kazmaier Award for the top NCAA women’s ice hockey player. Jocelyne was a four-time nominee and Monique was nominated for the award three times.

Now, therefore, I, Mayor Michael R. Brown, do proclaim April 15, 2013, as Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux Day in the City of Grand Forks, as recognition of their exceptional skills in sport and accomplishments in the classroom and call on the citizens of Grand Forks to celebrate these exceptional role models for young boys and girls of the community and trailblazers for female athlete everywhere.

The Lamoureux twins have another gold medal.

Thanks to Team USA’s 3-2 win over Canada on Tuesday night in Ottawa, the Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux will return to Grand Forks with gold from the IIHF Women’s World Championship. It is the third World Championship gold for the Lamoureuxs.

Warroad’s Gigi Marvin and Roseau’s Sarah Erickson also will be bringing home gold.

The game was probably a good preview of what’s expected to be the gold medal game at the Sochi Games in February.

Monique Lamoureux scored twice and Jocelyne Lamoureux set both of them up as Team USA beat Michelle Karvinen and Team Finland 4-2 at the IIHF Women’s World Championship on Wednesday.

Karvinen scored a goal for the Finns and has now been in on three of their four goals at the Worlds.

At the conclusion of the game, the Lamoureuxs and Karvinen were tied as the leading scorers in the tournament with three points each.

Monique was named Team USA’s player of the game.

The U.S. finishes pool play Friday against Switzerland. Medal round play begins Saturday.

UND’s Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux are both first-team All-Americans.

The All-American team was announced Thursday night at the NCAA Frozen Four and it is littered with UND and Minnesota players.

And yes, there is irony to Jocelyne being second-team all-conference and first-team All-American.

First team All-Americans

F — Jocelyne Lamoureux, North Dakota

Lamoureuxs named to USA camp

UND’s Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux have been invited to the Team USA camp in March, which will help determine the final roster for the World Championships, which are being held in Ontario in April.

Warroad’s Gigi Marvin and Roseau’s Sarah Erickson also have been invited to the camp.

There were some gigantic surprises on the list, including the omission of Minnesota forward Hannah Brandt, who ranks second nationally with 73 points in 34 games. Harvard’s Lyndsey Fry, who has 32 points this year, was taken over Brandt (of note, the coach of Team USA is Harvard’s Katey Stone).

One name that jumps out on the list is Jincy Dunne, who is the most coveted recruit out there. She’s only 15 years old right now, but there are people out there who think she has a shot at making the Olympic roster as a 16-year-old.

Dunne is from O’Fallon, Mo., the same hometown as Michael Parks.

UND senior forward Jocelyne Lamoureux is the all-time WCHA scoring champion.

Lamoureux had a school record six-assist game en route to passing Hilary Knight’s all-time WCHA scoring mark of 262 points. Lamoureux is now at 266.

Herald columnist Virg Foss covered the game and wrote the story for the Herald. Read that here.

Lamoureux’s twin sister, Monique, ranks third all-time in WCHA scoring with 249 points.

UND forward Danny Kristo is the offensive player of the week in the WCHA.

Kristo tallied three goals and five points during UND’s three-point weekend against Minnesota-Duluth. Kristo had two goals during Friday night’s 4-4 tie and had a goal and two assists during Saturday’s 4-3 overtime win. Kristo set up both the game-tying and game-winning goals Saturday.

Kristo is now tied with Yale’s Andrew Miller as the active career scoring leader in the country.

On the women’s side, Jocelyne Lamoureux is the offensive player of the week and Monique Lamoureux is the defensive player of the week.

Jocelyne tallied three goals and seven points during a weekend sweep of Bemidji State, including a hat trick during Saturday’s 7-3 win. Monique had two goals, two assists and registered a plus-seven rating while playing defense.

The three seniors on the UND men’s team all received their degrees on Saturday afternoon.

Ben Blood and Mario Lamoureux both finished off their undergraduate degrees. Brad Eidsness earned his master’s in business administration (he earned his undergrad last year).

Pierre-Paul Lamoureux, who has helped out with the team the last two years, also earned his degree.

On the women’s side, two juniors earned their degrees. Jocelyne Lamoureux earned her undergraduate degree, as did goaltender Jorid Dagfinrud. Both players will be back next season for their senior years.

Academics aren’t analyzed too closely by fans, but it’s a huge day for the athletes, who have completed a major step in setting themselves up for life after hockey.

Canada tied the game late in regulation and Caroline Ouellette scored at 1:50 of overtime to lift the Canadians to the gold medal at the IIHF Women’s World Championship with a 5-4 win over the Americans on Saturday night.

The Americans had won three straight world titles.

Warroad’s Gigi Marvin scored a pair of unassisted power-play goals (she had 3 power-play goals in the tournament, all unassisted – the stats guy screwed that one up).

The Lamoureux twins were held scoreless, but Monique finished as the tournament’s leading scorer with 14 points. Monique was named one of Team USA’s three best players in the tournament. Linemate Kelli Stack won the directorate award as the tournament’s top forward.

The U.S. won the gold in 2011 in overtime.

Next year’s tournament is in Ottawa. In 2014, the Olympics are in Sochi, Russia.

Monique Lamoureux-Kolls had six points (three goals, three assists) and twin sister Jocelyne Lamoureux had two goals and one assists as Team USA handed Canada its worst loss ever in women’s hockey — a 9-2 thrashing in the opening game of the IIHF World Championship.

The U.S. opened a 5-0 lead in just 5:32 with the Lamoureux twins scoring three of the goals.

Monique was named Team USA’s player of the game.

Other multi-point games for Team USA included Kelli Stack (3 assists, Lamourexs’ linemate), Hilary Knight (2 goals, 1 assist) and defenseman Gigi Marvin (2 assists).

It sounds like there was a great crowd on hand in Burlington, Vt.

The Americans are back at it at 6 p.m. today with a game against the Russians.
