Unfortunately the Hawks did not manage to knockoff the Edmonton Royals but they did manage to give the Royals all they could handle most nights.  The last three games could of went either way - with penalties, goal posts and injuries costing the Hawks in this series.  Had all the ducks been in a row the Hawks could easily have knocked off the Royals because it was not for lack of trying....  Congratulations to the Hawks you have a lot to be proud of this year.  Thank you to the coaching staff - hope you come back next year.

The best of five series will kick off Saturday at the JRC against the Edmonton Royals.  Hawk's will have to work together to battle the Edmonton Royals who finished in 2nd place in their division.  This series will be much like the battle they just completed against the Strathcona Bruins whom they had never defeated in regular season.  Playoff's are an entirely different season anything can happen.  The time of the year when playoff players appear, teams gel together and coaching becomes huge. 
Be there.....

HAWK`S WIN FIRST ROUND OF PLAYOFFS!!!! 
COME SUPPORT YOUR PYRAMID CORP. JUNIOR B HAWKS!!!

Not to be denied the Hawks dug down deep, followed the coaches directions - who are now definitely coaching to win and Hawk`s rookie goaltender Tyson Frey came up HUGE when needed.  Brother Colten Frey played upwards of 35 or more minutes per game and consistently stymied the Strathcona Bruins in a close 2-1 game.  A complete team effort - each player pitching in to deliver a frustrating end to the promising Strathcona Bruins.  You need to learn how to lose (last year`s stellar Hawk`s team losing in second round) in order to learn how to win.  Overage Hawk players know how to lose and now they know how to win.

The Hawk`s finished the regular season in 6th place and played their first playoff game on Saturday.  A valiant effort with a shortened bench due to a zealous referee in their last regular season game with Spruce Grove.  The Hawk`s managed to score two goals in the first and hung on for an overtime period and got lucky early to win the first game of the series. 

After February 4 - After a big win in Sherwood Park on the 4th the Hawk's face a tough battle with the Edmonton Royals on the 6th.  Every point makes a big difference at this time of the year. 

If the Hawk's can put together another valiant effort as they did in their most recent games they will be able to clinch a playoff spot. 

Must win games from now on.  Hawks need 1 point to clinch a playoff spot.  Come out and support this young Hawks team.  Only two regular season games left.
