Hawks C team wins Lake Placid!!!

A few weeks ago, the Hawks C team traveled to Lake Placid for some tournament action

In Game 1, the Hawks faced the Messa Mustangs and tied them 5-5 in a high scoring game. In game 2, the Hawks tied the Connecticut Lighting 1-1. Sunday (Game 3), the Hawks needed a win to advance to the championship game which they did convincingly 8-2 against the Cobourg Chaos!!

The Hawks then soared in the championship game against the CT Lightning 2-1 to bring home the gold! Jacky Foley scored the tournament winning goal!

The Hawks also enjoyed playing their first game on the 1980 Miracle on Ice Rink!

Of course the C Hawks enjoyed more than just ice hockey in Lake Placid, like Bobsledding on the side of the road.

I’m thinking that the Hawks should stick with playing hockey…..

More pictures of the Lake Placid tourney are on the right —>

Congrats Hawks on your big win!!
