Everyone at the Blackburn Hawks would like to extend a huge thank you and best of luck to the players moving on to new teams, as well Aaron who’s retiring from the game. Your dedication, passion, and contributions to the club have meant a great deal to us all. We wish you every success...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… It’s great to have Cade back with us this season. With the way the club has evolved over recent seasons, we had previously gone in a different direction focusing on youth development while still trying to remain competitive, which led us to part ways. Now that we’ve shifted direction again and have...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… Having Royds back was key for us this season. Keeping our core group together was a must. He has been an absolute force for us, his work ethic is off the charts, and he loves playing with this group. When he stepped away from hockey, I think he was ready for a...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… What can I say about Matty? What a character and just an all-around good kid. He’s laid back and plays like a veteran 98% of the time. The other 2% is only because he’s still learning — but even then, he’s incredibly effective. He’s still developing, and that’s what I love about...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… What can I say about Ridz? He’s an absolute pleasure to have around the room. Calm, relaxed, and sometimes maybe a little too chilled for some people’s liking, but that’s just his style. After chatting with Ridz this season, I think we both agree there’s still a bit more he can give...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… I’m really excited about this addition. Charlie has once again been solid up in the National League. He is a great two-way player and understands the kind of battle it takes to add depth to our lineup. He’s a player who will get the opportunity to play and earn more ice time...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… When we first had Liam out with us before last season, it was a no-brainer — the kid was ready to play at our level. I would’ve brought him in sooner if I could, but the age restrictions really came into play. He quickly earned the nickname “Ricky Bobby” from the boys...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… Jakub came onto my radar shortly after the season ended. As we continue to build, and with the league sticking to the two-import rule, we felt we could strengthen the lineup by bringing him in. I’ve spoken before about the importance of quality in depth, and Jakub fits that mold perfectly. I’ve...
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… It’s no secret that we made a hard push and fell just short last season. When the board, Ollie, and I sat down, we were all aligned on the direction we wanted to go and that’s to go for it. When Harrison became available, and after the conversations we had, it became...
