With two home wins this week, the Hawks are currently riding a five-game winning streak that started with back-to-back road wins against the CHL’s top team, the Kelowna Rockets. The five consecutive wins have also aided in the teams’ climb in the WHL standings. The team is currently tied with the Spokane Chiefs for second in the U.S. Division.
