Pembina Valley Hawks having super inaugural season

Date:

The Pembina Valley U13AA Female Hawks are in fifth place in the Hockey Winnipeg U13AA female league with a 10-9 record. The team is battling for position as it gets closer to the playoffs and has played some really good hockey over the last few months.

One highlight for the team was winning gold at the Grand Forks B-Dubs Shootout Tournament at the end of November. It was a great team bonding experience, and the players had some hard-fought games to earn the gold.

The Hawks also took part in Notre Dame’s Hawkey Days 2025 by playing an exhibition game against the Central Plains Capitals in Notre Dame. The Hawks pulled out a decisive 5-0 win and had a great time playing in Notre Dame in front of a huge crowd. 

“It was awesome to see the arena full in support of five players from Notre Dame and the rest of the team,” said Pembina Valley Hawks coach Keith Pitura. “Having been an opposing coach in the Notre Dame Arena many times, it was really nice to hear the goal horn go off for the team I am coaching rather than vice versa.”

The Pembina Valley Hawks will now participate in the Brandon Tournament of Champions in mid-February before finishing up the regular season and competing in the Hockey Winnipeg U13AA playoffs.  

“A big thanks to all our fans who have already made this season a memorable experience for the players,” said Pitura.
