It has been several years since the St. Adolphe Hawks had a team in the Hanover Tache Junior Hockey League. They’re back now, looking to advance to the finals.

“The town of St. Adolphe has really rallied behind our first year back,” says Team Manager Connor Forrester. “I’ve had many people come up to me, thanking me for having the team back in town.”

Forrester notes many special moments from the new season.

“First of all, on January 21, the captain of our team, Eric Lebrun, had quite a game,” Forrester says. “In just 58 seconds… he scored three goals, starting off the game with a record. Secondly, this is a close group of kids. A really tight unit that laughs, plays, and spends time with one another before and after games.” 

Coach Chad Stewart can attest to the connectivity of the players, coaches, management, and even fans. “[It is a] very tight group where every player or coach has each other’s back. Hawks fly together!”

The Hawks finished the regular season in fourth place out of seven teams, with 27 points. First place belonged to the Red River Mugbugs, with 36 points.

On March 1, the Hawks will begin their best-of-seven semifinal battle with the Mudbugs. The first game takes places at 8:00 p.m. at the St. Adolphe Arena. They beat the Lorette Comets in the quarter-finals to advance. 

The Hawks have two forwards among the league’s top-ten scorers. Eric Leburn is fourth, with 31 points, and Curtis Metzler is eighth, with 29 points. The team also boasts two leading goalies, with Steven Bleue in first spot and Eric Trudeau in eighth.
