Arena Almost Ready

By Tim Harwood

Ice is back at Young Arena.  It’s not set for skaters yet, and work will continue to build up the playing surface over the next several days.  However, it’s another sign that Waterloo Black Hawks hockey is about to return.

Summer Skating

By Ryan Papa

This summer has just flown by so far.  It feels like yesterday we were still playing for the Clark Cup.   I have been working very hard for next season with what limited time we have.

See the Team Before JCWC

The only opportunity to watch the Black Hawks hit the ice in person during a game-like situation before September (without a plane ticket to Russia) will be during the team’s Fan Fest on July 28^th.

A Typical Summer Week

By Matias Cleland

Last week did not entail a whole lot for me; however it was the kind of week I like.  It was a tough week of training on and off the ice.  My body is definitely feeling it, but a little soreness never hurt anyone...

A Note From Camp

As of now, I am in downtown Chicago for the Chicago Blackhawks prospect camp. This has been one of the best experiences of my life.

Fires Miss Cleland and Friends

By Matias Cleland

As for my summer, it has been a scorcher out here in Colorado, and our mountains are really paying for it.  There have been many fires out here, which have caused over 10,000 people to evacuate their homes across Colorado. 

Trip of a Lifetime

By Ryan Papa

While it was great to see all of my friends again, and while this summer has been nice and relaxing, there is not a day that goes by where I don’t think about our trip to Russia. 

Welcome to our Russia Blog

By Vinnie Hinostroza

As all of you know, we will be heading to Russia in just over a month.

We as players couldn't be more excited for the trip.  This will be a great chance for us to bond and get to know each other before the actual season begins.

Rushing to Russia

By Tim Harwood

Participating in the 2012 Junior Club World Cup is a tremendous thrill for the Waterloo Black Hawks organization and should be an experience everyone making the trip remembers forever.  Before the team departs, we’re learning how short two months really are.
