The Bantam A team traveled to Massachusetts to represent Connecticut in the Northeastern Tier III Sectionals. They opened up the tournament with a 3-1 victory over Weymouth (Mass#1). Saturday morning they beat Central Maine 2-0 and faced the Louisville Lightning (NY) in the afternoon, ending in a 2-3 loss. An early Sunday morning Semi Final game pitted them against the Woonsocket North Stars (RI). The IceHawks found themselves down 1-2 going into the third period, but scored 2 unanswered power play goals in 3 minutes to take the lead and move on to the finals. The finals would be a rematch with the team from NY but the IceHawks were ready for their opponent's size and strength. The score was tied much of the game.  Northwestern did their best to score in the closing seconds of regulation with a flurry of shots. The game would go into a 10 minute sudden death overtime. With just over 3 minutes remaining Louisville would score on a questionable play. The season was over for the IceHawks. Congratulations go out to the boys, their coaches and parents. All of the hard work throughout the season paid off.  These boys have much to be proud of. The team finished with a record of 33-13-5.
