|The Hawkesbury Hawks are a Tier II Junior "A"ice hockey team from Hawkesbury,Ontario ,Canada . They are a part of theCentral Junior A Hockey League .History
The Hawks were formed by a group of local businessmen in March of
1974 . From 1974 until1976 the Hawks were a part of theEastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League . After making the jump to the Central Junior A Hockey League in 1976, the Hawks found themselves in the basement of the league in their first season -- although they quickly rose through the ranks in the seasons following. In1979 , the team won the CJHL Championship and moved on to the Centennial Cup where they lost the semi-finals to the Ontario Hockey Association'sGuelph Platers -- the eventual champion. The1980 season saw them win theBogart Cup as CJHL Champions again. This time they lost in the quarter-finals of the National Championship toQuebec Junior AAA Hockey League Champion Joliette Cyclones.1990 saw the Hawks rise to glory once again as CJHL Champions, but an opening round loss in the national Championships to Quebec'sLe Collège Français de Longueuil spelled the end of a National Championship run. In1991 , the team won the league again and then also hosted the Central Canadian Championship where they lost the semi-final to theSudbury Junior Wolves of theNorthern Ontario Junior Hockey League .The
1999 playoffs were Hawkesbury's next taste of hockey gold, as they won the CJHL Championship. This led them to theFred Page Cup , where they were rather successful, although they lost the final to theCharlottetown Abbies of theMaritime Junior A Hockey League .The Hawks best year to date came in
2005 . They won the Bogart Cup, and moved on to the Fred Page Cup again. They pulled off a few big games and won the Cup, advancing them to theRoyal Bank Cup for the 2005 National Championships. The Royal Bank Cup was eventually won by theWeyburn Red Wings of theSaskatchewan Junior Hockey League .eason-by-Season Record
