ENIHL Cup This current season has ended! Northern League This current season has ended! Home THE LAST FEW FLY HOME. Written by Andy Slater    Monday, 04 August 2008 The Hawks Management are please to announce that the following players have now signed for the forthcoming season, Lance Derbyshire, Harry Hall, and Craig Ainscough have all just returned from holiday and have put pen to paper and committed themselves to another season with the Blackburn Hawks. Lance has played for the Hawks since moving out of the juniors a number of years ago and has made a smooth transition from defence to forward becoming an established player in the top lines of the Hawks. Craig is another product of the junior development and is now entering his second season for the hawks. Over the last few years Craig has matured as a player and gained some valuable senior experience. Wayne hopes that with his speed and skill he can hopefully cause the oppositions defence some problems. Harry is also entering his 3rd season as many of the young Hawks players are. He is a very skilful player that manages to create time and space on the puck. Hopefully he can use his ability to become a much needed play maker for the Hawks.   THE DEFENSIVE UNITS ARE NOW COMPLETE. Written by Andy Slater    Monday, 04 August 2008 Wayne and John have now completed the defensive unit for the forthcoming season with the signing of Carl Slater. Carl isn’t new to Blackburn as he has played 9 years in the juniors before a move across the Pennines,  playing for Kingston U/16’s  U/18’s and the Jets for two seasons, where he gained valuable experience under the guidance of  the most respected coach in the country aka Peter Johnson ( Jonker ) . Whilst at Kingston he was selected to play for the U/17’s Northern conference,  last year he returned closer to home and iced for the Flintshire Freeze for a short while, before returning to his home town club to finish the season off playing for the U/18’s and icing when available for the Lancashire Raptors. Wayne and John have been impressed with Carl on the trainings and feel he is more than capable of stepping up to the next level, saying he is a good stay at home defence man and is an excellent passer of the puck and has grown in confidence since the last time he pulled on a hawks shirt a few years ago. Carl is delighted to be given the chance to prove himself under the new regime and knows what is expected of him.   Shark flies over the border Written by zeb    Saturday, 02 August 2008 Hawks Management are pleased to confirm the signing of experienced forward Tim McKay from the Solway Sharks. Twenty seven year old McKay has played hockey for a number of clubs including Whitley Warriors, Kingston Jets and the Hull Stingrays in the BNL and most recently the Solway Sharks. Tim also plays Roller Hockey in the summer and was the top scorer for the GB roller hockey team this year in Germany.Wayne has been looking for a player of Tim’s experience and calibre and knows what to expect from him having played a season along side of him in Solway.  His hockey knowledge is second to none and a large number of our young talented players will benefit from his experience. Tim is a consistent player who has averaged about a goal a game in the past couple of seasons and Wayne hopes he continues this trend for the Hawks. The team is taking shape with most of last season’s players returning for another year plus the addition of Tim and Jonathan.  There are still a few players yet to return from holiday but with the majority of the team back together we can now start preparing for the season ahead.   More...
