History

Perspective
Founded in 1985, the Hawks won their first league championship in 1990 against the Humboldt Broncos.[5] The team went on to win the regional championship ANAVET Cup, defeating the Portage Terriers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League four games to two.[6] The Hawks then went on to take third place at the national championship Centennial Cup tournament in Vernon, British Columbia.[7]
The next time the Hawks won a league championship was in 2018.[8] The victory was overshadowed by the Humboldt Broncos bus crash in which 16 members of the Humboldt Broncos were killed and 13 were injured.[9] The crash happened as the Broncos were en route to Nipawin to play game 5 of the semifinal against the Hawks.[10][11]
