All of the coaches that participated thank you for your support (Mike Bloome, Ted Gaffney, John Lam, Brandon Lweandowski, Paul Peseki, Chuck Peters and Tony Rossi). With your help, the coaches raised
$3,065 for the Movember Foundation in the name of the Chicago Hawks Hockey Club!
The Movember Foundation is a global charity committed to men living happier, healthier, longer lives. Since 2003, millions have joined the men's health movement, raising $650 million and funding over 1,000 programs focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.
The Movember Foundation believes in creating positive change for men's health by raising awareness and educating men year-round, and through our take-over of the month formerly known as November.

PEE WEE 6 ~ FINALISTS
Hawks Peewee 6 took 2nd place in the Thanksgiving Classic at the Edge Ice Arena on Sunday. They started off the weekend with a 5-1 win over the Jaguars, then tied with the Wolfpack. In the next game, they tied again, playing great hockey with the Fisher Falcons. They went up against the Falcons again in the Championship game. PW6 played a hard fought game, leading 1-0 for the majority of the game. The Falcons scored twice in the third, relegating the Hawks to 2nd place. It was a very competitive game, and nice to finally play against a team not in our tier! Congrats PW6!

PHANTOMS MITE 1 ~ CHAMPIONS
Congratulations to the Darien Phantoms Mite 1 team, winners of the "Stuffing" Division of the Gobbler Goblet Tournament!
