The Nipawin Hawks will host the Melville Millionaires Tuesday in the lone Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) game.
The Hawks are mired in a three-game losing streak and have lost five of their last six games. The Hawks were swept by the Broncos this past weekend. Despite two solid efforts on the weekend versus Humboldt the club still needs to turn tight games into victories according to their Head Coach Tad Kozun.
“I thought we took good steps on Saturday where a couple mistakes led to a loss in that game, but I liked the effort. As we talked about, I liked the effort in the final couple minutes, but we still need to find a way to win,” Kozun said.
Nipawin is currently sitting in eighth place in the SJHL standings, the Millionaires are in fifth and leading their division for the first time in a decade. Kozun said the Centennial Arena has always been a tough place for teams to visit, but this year the Hawks have lost more than they have won at home. Kozun said that needs to change starting Tuesday.
