The Flashback: the Hawks surprise, Mustangs reminder, and Trojans chase
Nipawin Hawks – Fighting for first
The Nipawin Hawks defending their Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) championship with only six regulars from last season has been documented many times in The Flashback.
On their 24-man roster, the Hawks have 13 players who are 18 years old or younger, only the Yorkton Terriers have the same amount and team has more.
With six returning players on a younger squad, a rebuilding year was expected on the outside looking in.
