A day in the life of a River Hawk

Many of our players are currently attending high school/university in their communities and others have either part or full time employment. So it is basically go to school or work during the day and Hockey Practice for local players on Monday Nights at the Fisher River Arena Complex, we usually have 12 to 16 skaters out some are our affiliate players. Tuesday Nights are set aside for dry land training at the Peguis Central School from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. We do strength and endurance training along with some fun floor hockey to finish off the nights workout. Wednesday is our major practice night where all team members are to be on the ice at 7:15 p.m. at the Fisher River Arena Complex. The rest of our week is league games on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday or Thursday Nights!

 General Philosophy:

Work Hard, Come Prepared, Stay Committed in all that we do as Two Nations River Hawks. This holds true all members involved with our Hockey Club: Executive, Manager, Coaching Staff and Players.

Education and preperation of players for a life after hockey:

We the (Team Executives, Management and Coaching Staff) are huge supporters in our players working hard at their studies both in High School and University. It is their education that will provide them with the independence they will need to succeed in life. Some players may choose not to continue their education and work, while others will continue onto University or College. We can only hope that our team philosophy will stay with our players long after their Jr. B. Hockey Career is over and that they will apply our philosophy into whatever road they choose in life.

Schedule & Travel:

We play a schedule of approximately 60-65 games per season, this includes exhibition, league and play-offs. The league schedule is set in September of each season and in the last few seasons our league teams have increased and it has brought a lot interest into the fan base for Jr. B. Hockey. Travel ranges as far south to St. Malo and as far north to Cross Lake & Norway House with every other league team in the middle. All in all the schedule and travel can at times be demanding, but all things work out in the end.

Equipment:

We do supply the following: Sticks, Stick Tape, Sock Tape and Visors. We also do a cost share with players wanting to purchase hockey equipment, all purchases must first be approved through the General Manager and Equipment Manager. Not all player purchases are cost shared, some will be at the expense of the player.
