The Chaska Hawks have high expectations this season.  With 17 players returning from last season's varsity lineup and a talented group of players coming into the program, the Hawks are poised for a deep playoff run.  Coach Matt Cooke, in his first year behind the Hawks’ bench, is impressed with the team's speed, skill and work ethic, and has set a strong tone for the season: “We have one goal this year, the state tournament.  We’re not settling for anything less.” 

The Hawks' impressive lineup is led by senior captains Bennett Jax, Jack Seaverson and Zach Seltun, and junior captain Sam Rinzel.  Junior Carter Wishart will again provide stellar goaltending and will be backed up by Junior Kai Girard.  This is one of the strongest 20-player lineups in the state.
