One of the oldest running Junior "B" teams in lacrosse history, the Hawks a celebrated history and are a pride to lacrosse fans in the far Northern reaches of OLA Junior "B" league. The Hawks won the second ever National title, then known as the Castrol Cup in their inaugural season. They also pulled off a second National title in 1991, winning the Founders Cup.
Since their last Founders Cup, the Hawks have found it hard to draw top talent to the Huntsville area and their season results have suffered. The team also had to fold in 2000 to rebuild some of its interior structure. The fold happened after a winless 1999 season. Since another winless season in 2004, the past two season have gone a little smoother for the Hawks with two straight 6-14-0 seasons. The hope is that the Hawks can build off this and maybe even pull off a winning season in 2007.
At the end of the 1991 season, the Hawks were sitting pretty, 4th place overall with a 13-5-0 record. With home advantage in the first round of the playoffs, they drew the fifth seed Gloucester Griffins. The Griffins did not provide much of a challenge as the Hawks swept them 3 games to none. In the league semi-final, the Hawks drew the first place Scarborough Saints in a best-of-seven series. Surprisingly, the Hawks walked through them in six games. The finals saw them take on the second seed Elora Mohawks. In another upset, the Hawks pulled off yet another series win in six games to clinch the Provincial title. Although there is presently little information on the 1991 Founders Cup itself, it is known that the Hawks won the National title in the host city of Gloucester, Ontario.
