Home Ice

With seconds to spare Matt Davis passes to Cameron Cunningham for the winning goal.

The Hawks defeated the Junior Steelheads this morning with a literal buzzer beating goal ending the tournament undefeated and Peewee "A" division Idaho State Champions for 2009-10.

This is the first Idaho State championship that the Treasure Valley Amateur Hockey Association Hawks have won, a huge accomplishment considering that this is the first year TVAHA has been as a full fledged hockey association.

The kids were excited, as were the coaches and parents. Another round of tailgating ensued with breakfast burritos, hot dogs, sausages and of course a cake.

Thanks for the great time guys and keep up the hard work. We are all looking forward to our final tournament in Jackson Hole at the end of March.

Goals: Davis & Cunningham

Penalties: Cunningham, Andreason, Ingraham, Plumlee.

The Hawkes came into being to fill a niche in the youth travel hockey programs. The concept was and still is to provide the chance to play travel hockey, regardless of skill level, to as many kids as are interested. Paramount to providing that opportunity is keeping the program affordable. So, since its inception the Hawks coaches and organizers are all volunteers, giving their time and treasure purely for the enjoyment of the kids.

In the first season the Hawkes were a squirt level, independent team composed of 14 players and a lot of heart. Our kids and parents logged a lot of miles traveling to McCall, Salmon and Salt Lake City, Utah. Players and parents formed friendships and learned to enjoy the challenges that travel hockey brings.

Expansion was the word for year number two. Our jerseys changed color to green and gold and our name was shortened by one letter to Hawks. The organization, playing under the McCall Youth Hockey banner, put four teams on the ice. One Squirt, a Peewee A, a Peewee B and a Bantam team. One of our proudest achievements that year was to send teams to the Idaho Amateur Hockey Association State Tournament.

2009-2010 is the the third season and the Hawks have a new parent organization, the Treasure Valley Amateur Hockey Association. After playing out our probationary period under the McCall banner for a year, the TVAHA has been able to add more ice time, more teams and more kids. The Hawks have nearly 60 kids spread over 5 age divisions. Once again Hawks teams will be playing in the State Amateur Hockey Tournament February 19-21 at Idaho Ice World in Boise, Idaho. Come out and cheer on the players.

Welcome Back!

Yeah yeah, I broke it.....bad.

Now that we are up, with new software, there are a whole bunch of interesting features, first of which is the fresh face of the site that you are looking at right now. The new Content Management System allows us to publish a much more user friendly page including articles like this one. If you are interested in writing an article, say to recap a game, please let me know, I am happy to have the help.

Beyond the CMS, there is a new blog system, the discussion forums have been re-organized and all users can easily form friend lists and galleries for pictures. The forum allows for video or still pictures, PLEASE share!

So, how do you get started on this? Click "Register" on the top right corner of the page and answer a few questions. I am very particular about whom is allowed on this site and all registrations are approved by me, so it may take a couple hours to get you set up.

While I am approving requests I'll recognize most of your emails but if I don't I'll send an email asking which player is yours or how you are related. I do this to limit the visibility of certain areas to a group of people, another safety feature.

This site is yours to populate, take a few minutes to explore and add content. Go Hawks!
