It proved to be a fast-paced, back and forth game. The Bantams found themselves trailing early, but they persevered and battled back. Ultimately the Hawks were able to rally from behind with a strong 3rd period, coming away with a hard fought 5-4 victory. The Bantams finished the HVHL season in 4th at 7-7-0 and will face the Palisades Predators in the semi-finals next weekend.

The successful weekend would continue for the Bantams, as they were able to defeat the Freeport Arrows 6-2 at Dix Hills on Sunday night. With the win, the Bantam Hawks finished the regular season undefeated in the Long Island Amateur Hockey League at an impressive 22-0-2. The Bantam Hawks have taken the LIAHL regular season crown as the league's top team for two straight seasons. The #1 seeded Hawks will face the LI Edge in the LIAHL semi-finals.

Congrats on a great season and good luck in the playoffs!!
