The Hawks, in their first game faced the Tri-Valley Blue Devils, the team that had knocked the Hawks out of the Silver Stick’s semi-finals in San Jose. The The Hawks, in second place from Pool A, went onto the semi-finals to face the 1st place team from Pool B, the Front Range Panthers from Colorado. Apparently over their jet lag and ready to play more hockey, it was total domination by the Hawks! The Hawks scored 3 goals in the first period, another 3 goals in the second period and one more in the 3rd. Front Range had no answer to the attack of Portland, shots were 31-15! With the semi-final win, the Hawks headed to the Championship game, a re-match against Hollyburn. It was a high energy, well played, hard fought game, with neither team letting up! At the end of regulation play, the score remained tied at 0-0, it was on to overtime. Each team stepped up their game, trying to eliminate the other. With time running out, the Hawks were pinned in their defensive zone and the Huskies pounding them hard. The Hawks got a break, when one of our players were checked hard on the boards, opening a gate and stopping play. The Hawks were able to put out a fresh line. They won the face-off, sending the puck back to the defenseman. The defenseman chipped the puck up to the breaking forwards, creating a 3 on 2 breakaway. One winger drove hard outside and took a shot, the Hollyburn goalie made a save, but left the rebound. The Hawk’s trailing forward took control of the puck, and shot it into the upper net scoring with only 6 seconds left! It was a great tournament for the Hawks! A record of 4 and 1, scoring 20 goals and only having 3 scored on them, earning 3 shut-outs, not leading in penalty minutes and a goalie save percentage of 96.9! Up was a team from Denver CO, the Hyland Hills Jaguars. This was a penalty filled slug fest, Hyland Hills racked up 78 minutes in penalties, and another suspended for their next game.
