The Blackhawks' season ended early yesterday as they dropped game 3 in their best of 3 series vs. Hague 7 to 3. Birch Hills fell behind 3-0 early in the game and battled back in the 2nd period to within 1 goal. Despite outshooting the Royals, the Hawks weren't able to bury the puck in the net. Scoring for Birch Hills were Tristyn Corliss, Tyler Tilford and Kaleb Willoughby. Good luck to the Hague Royals as they advance to the next round of provincials against Ituna.
