Last season, The Hawks finished in last place in the big league, then lost the best-of-five Promotion/Relegation Play-Off againt DSS.
As a result, DSS promoted and The Hawks relegated.
However, when ADO Lakers withdrew its team in February, The Hawks was asked to fill in the vacant spot, meaning the club returned to the big league.
And now, during the preparations for the upcoming season, The Hawks is currently unbeaten, having won all of its six games.
Next weekend, The Hawks plays two games against Twins.
