The Grey Highlands Hawks were a United Hockey Union-sanctioned junior ice hockey team from Markdale, Ontario, Canada. They were a member of the Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League and began play in the 2016–17 season.

History

[edit]

In 2016, a two-year agreement was reached between Grey Highlands and Hawks owners Carrie Robertson and Cory Lafonte.[1] The team played their first season in 2016–17 and won the first round playoff series over the Glengarry Highlanders. They were eliminated in the round-robin, losing to all three other teams. The following season, the Brampton Royals, a 2017 expansion team, was merged into the Hawks roster a week before the start of the season.[2]

After three seasons, the Hawks were removed from the league in the first week of the 2019–20 season.
