The Hawks put an official end to the 2021-22 season with their annual banquet this past Thursday night at Breezy Bend Golf and Country Club. A special thanks goes out to Charleswood Hawks alumni and current Winnipeg Jets Senior Director of Hockey Communications Scott Brown, who acted as Master of Ceremonies for the evening. Scott did a great job challenging the team to the team to think about the importance of what it means to be a Hawk and to take advantage season to come with the young squad we iced for the 2021-22 season. Long overdue thanks to COVID, this was actually the first time in 3 long years that we were able to host the banquet and recognize our graduating players from those seasons.
