𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… Very excited about this signing. Garry has proven he can be a real thorn in the side of his opponents. He plays a tough, physical game and never backs down from a challenge. He’s also shown that he can put up numbers at our level, and after speaking with him, I truly believe...
Welcome back, Sammy!
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… There’s no doubt there will be a few changes this season, but Sammy is a guy who has absolutely earned the right to be here and to stay here. He’s played a utility role for us and not once has he complained when his ice time has dipped from time to time....
Watson is back in Blackburn for another year.
𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝗺… Luke has been unreal for us over the last couple of seasons. His role has evolved with the development of the club, and he has filled it admirably. You won’t find a better guy in that room. I believe we have the right people in the room—not just as players, but as...
Thank you & Good luck.
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...
Cade is back in Blackburn.
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...
James Royds back for another year.
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...
Matty Cross stays in Blackburn.
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...
James Riddoch is back once more.
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...
Charlie Thompson joins the Hawks.
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...
Welcome back, Liam Hine.
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...
