By Lorne Stelmach
The male Pembina Valley Hawks trimmed their roster following three exhibition games last week. Settling on the players who will make up the U18 squad now for the season ahead was a challenge for coach Reid Sloan, who is familiar with many of them. “We had to make some really tough cuts,” he said. “It’s not easy when you’ve coached a lot of these boys for the past four years going back to the U15 program.” The moves came after the Hawks had mixed results in three exhibition games. They fell 4-1 to Interlake last Thursday and then edged the Light- ning 4-3 in a rematch Saturday before falling 5-3 to Central Plains Sunday afternoon. Based on what he saw last week, PHOTO BY RICK HIEBERT/VOICE Sloan sees some of this team’s traits In exhibition action last week, the Pembina Valley Hawks fell 4-1 to the Interlake Lightning Oct. 1 but then starting to show. bounced back to beat them 4-3 the next night. The Hawks also lost to Central Plains 5-3 on Sunday. “I think our team is a pretty quick team. We’ve got a lot of speed. There’s guys there who work really hard.
