FEB. 24TH - PLAYOFF GAME #3 - Hawks took an
early lead but the determined Royals came back to tie the game at 2-2 and then
to pot the final blow to the Hawks at 3:45 in the 3rd. Royals sweep the
series. Good Luck to them in the next round of playoffs!
FEB. 21ST - PLAYOFF GAME #2 - Royals came out
strong and were determined to repeat what happened on the 19th. They were
strong and the Hawks were unable to contain the Royals as they were ahead at the
end of the 2nd period - 5-1. Hawks did a gut check over the intermission
and came out a completely different team. They dominated the Royals and
picked away goal by goal until running out of time to have the Royals pot an
empty net goal in the last minute. Score 6-4. That period should be enough
to convince the Hawks and their fans that they are NOT down and out - they are
still very much one of the most talented teams ever in the Junior B league.
Hawks should be proud and Royals should be scared.
FEB. 19TH - PLAYOFF GAME #1- Royals stun the
Hawks. It was obvious the Royals were determined not to lose again to the
Hawks. During regular season the Hawks solved the Royals 4 games straight.
Royals deserved to win on this night.
FEB. 10TH - Hawks vs Wetaskiwin Icemen - The
Hawks poured on the shots but could not solve the pesky little Hextall
goalie that got under the skin of several of the player's. Mason Fedun got
the win as the Hawk's managed to squeak by. The Hawk's usual style
of play has gone south - hopefully it will return in the Playoff's.
FEB. 7TH - The Hawks played like they were
still stunned from Friday's pummelling at the hands of the Chiefs. The
Riggers put together a fine effort but failed to pull out the win account of a
stellar performance by the Hawk's goalie Sean Reilly. Time to reflect on just
what it is the Hawk's want to accomplish and who is on board for the long run.
FEB. 5TH - The Hawks looked more like
Christmas turkey's on Friday night. The Beaumont Chiefs looked strong and
well coached as they plucked 2 points and a league banner from the Hawks.
The Hawks will have to dig down to continue on with the playoffs. Not
their best hockey when they need it the most.
JAN. 31ST - The Hawks fall to the Jets.
Good game but unlike the evening events it failed to evoke any spirit in the
team. Maybe Sunday afternoon should be spent in church. The
Morinville Goalie answered all their prayers.
JAN. 29TH - Hawks vs the Royals - always
entertaining. Again the Royals put up a valiant fight but in the long haul
the Hawks were just a little bit better - enough to pull ahead in the third.
Hawks debuted their third jersey's to mixed reviews.
JAN. 24TH - Beaumont Chiefs vs the Hawks -
always a top notch battle. A little interference from the referee against
both teams changed the game somewhat.
JAN. 20TH - No words can describe....
JAN. 17TH - The drama continues as the Hawks
visited the Confederation arena to battle another worthy rival. The last
stretch continues to be difficult as they are matched up with good teams that
want nothing more than to beat the Hawks who have remained undefeated in over
two months. This time the captain Dan McPherson put in the shoot out goal
to end the drama. Hawks win again.
JAN 15TH - Another nail biter as teams show
up with their best performances trying to beat the high soaring Hawks.
Only a few points between the top teams battling for the league title. In
the end the Hawks were victorious against the Stony Plain Flyers only after a
great pass by McPherson and fantastic shot by defensemen Court Nelson. It
was a hard game to lose - the Flyers gave all they had and nearly knocked off
the leading team.
JAN. 8TH - A much improved Spruce Grove team
meant business and promptly put the Hawks behind. They battled back and it
became a see-saw battle with the officials wanting part of the action as well.
Just in the nick of time (4 seconds) left THE SKRAKER (Andy Skoreyko) finished
the Regals off. A hard one to lose - a great game to watch.
JAN. 6TH - A much anticipated game against
the West Division leaders the Beverly Warriors and the Fort Sask Hawks leading
the East Division. Apparently it was an important game to both teams as
they both looked very tentative with no one wanting to make that one mistake
that would turn out to be the game changer. Neither team did make that
mistake and it ended in a tie. With OT deciding nothing it came down to a
shoot out in which our secret weapon Cody Pewar buried the puck and won the
game.
JAN. 3RD - The new year started off
well with a win over the Wetaskiwin Icemen.
DEC. 18TH - The Edmonton Wild visited the
Jubilee Arena on the last game before the Christmas break. The Hawk's were
too much to handle for the Wild and they returned home empty handed. No
gifts handed out by the Hawk's this month.
DEC. 16TH - Traveled to Leduc for a middle of
the week boring game. Both teams were thinking more about Christmas than
this game - including the goalie who forgot his skates. Hawk's goalie
Shawn Reilly returned to the lineup and held off the uninspired Riggers.
DEC. 13TH - Unlucky day for the Strathcona
Bruins. The Hawk's flew the coop easily with the 2 points. While a
few players for the Bruin's tried to leave a message the Hawk's were quite
receptive and even the Hawk's goaltender Mason Fedun joined in. Last
meeting of the season - Hawk's win this series as well.
DEC. 11TH - Sherwood Park Knights - last
meeting of the regular season - were playing great had the game in control when
they decided it would be better to hurt the Hawk's than to take 2 points.
Penalty after stupid penalty the undisciplined Knights allowed the Hawk's back
into the game and the Hawk's capitalized. This game had everything
in it - intense emotion, concussions, ambulance attendants, irate parents, fights, goals,
and overtime. This extreme rivalry ended in a shootout. In the end the
Hawk's win the game and the series.
DEC. 9TH - Strathcona Bruins arrived and put
together a good first and then folded in the 2nd and 3rd. Got testy and
ended up bloodied and beat up courtesy of the Hawk's.
NOV. 27TH - Sherwood Park Knights again...
another repeat of the last game except this time it was at home. Sherwood
Park went home sore losers again.
NOV. 24TH - Beaumont Chiefs came to town
and a great hockey game was played until liberties were taken on the first line.
The officials missed enough to cause the teams to take matters into their own
hands and what was a great game got out of hand. Nevertheless both
teams battled for a tie, OT and then a shoot out. Maybe some fresh new
danglers might be more effective next shootout game.
NOV. 20TH - The Sherwood Park Knights
could not muster up enough to get more than 2 past Goaltender Darren Douglas
while at the other end the Knight's goal-tender was quite busy with the Hawk's
scoring 7. The Hawk's controlled the game throughout. (Click to enlarge pictures)
NOV. 13/18TH - Royals and Leduc fell prey to
the Hawk's with a 8-4 decision over the Royals and a 6-1 decision over the
Rigger's. Hawk's continue to find victims at a steady pace.
NOV. 8 - Strathcona Bruins - a burly bunch
taking liberties with our best players - attempted to run over the Hawk's but in
the end the Hawk's took flight and sealed the victory in the third.

NOV. 7 - Wetaskiwin arrived at the JRC
without a win and The Hawk's rolled over the team with relative ease - giving
Mason Fedun his first shut out this year. He even faced a penalty shot and
came up big for the team. (Click to enlarge pictures)(more

NOV. 1 - The 9 game winning streak came to
a screeching halt in an OT shootout - too many treats were had by the Hawk's at
the Halloween Dance. The success of the Halloween Dance could well be
worth 2 points but Monday's practice will tell the tale of whether it was worth
coming to the rink in less than game shape. (Click to enlarge pictures)
OCT. 30 - The Hawk's visited Stony Plain
on Friday night and ruled. The first period the Flyer's tried to play
hockey with the Hawk's which did not work for them. Second period the
Flyer's just tried to goon it up and that also did not work. In the end
the Flyer's laid an egg as Darren Douglas recorded his second consecutive shut
out this month. The Hawk's ended October with a perfect record and are on
a 9 game winning streak. (Click to enlarge pictures)
OCT. 27 - The Hawk's vs Morinville turned out
to be an uneventful affair in which the Hawk's played just enough to win.
Darren Douglas perfect with his first shut-out of the season. (Click to enlarge pictures)
OCT. 23 - The Hawk's had a no trouble with the
league leading Beaumont Chief's who had several missing players. The
Hawk's quickly
outshot & out worked the Chief's. Later in the game the Chief's tried
to send some kind of message but whatever it was remained undelivered.

OCT. 18 - The Hawk's were rather sluggish
tonight and barely pulled out a win in overtime against a determined Edmonton
Wild team. Coaches will be hoping for a much better start on the 23rd
against Beaumont. (Click to enlarge pictures)
OCT. 16 - The Hawk's were victorious again on Friday
night after having a spirited affair against a chippy Leduc Rigger's team.
Unfinished business from last year was on the mind of some of the Hawk's.
2 be continued I'm sure ... (Click to enlarge

OCT. 9 - The Hawk's encountered a
burly Bruin or two in their bout with the Strathcona team. The Bruin's
surprised a few fans with their much improved play. The Hawk's had to step
it up in the third to seal the win away.
