Last Time Out

After a scoreless first period in which Portland outshot Vancouver 17-3, the Giants struck first in the second. Marek Howell opened the scoring during four-on-four play, and Ty Halaburda doubled the lead on a power play minutes later. The Winterhawks responded late in the frame as Reed Brown buried his eighth of the season to make it 2-1 after two.

Portland pressed in the third and tied the game midway through the period when Alex Weiermair batted home a power-play marker. But in the final minute, Vancouver earned a power play and Halaburda converted for the game-winner, sealing a 3-2 Giants victory.

50 Years of Hawkey, presented by KOIN

The Portland Winterhawks continue celebrating 50 Years of Hawkey on home ice! The Top 50 Winterhawks of All Time have been unveiled in alphabetical order, and throughout the season we'll highlight them in groups of 10. The first group, players 50-41, was revealed on November 8.

Tonight, we introduce players ranked 40-31, honoring the influential figures who helped shape the team's legacy. Be in your seats by 6 p.m. for the pre-game ceremony.

Arrive early to see the debut of the red-gold specialty jerseys during warm-ups before the Hawks switch to solid gold for game action. Fans are encouraged to wear their gold merch, and stop by the team store outside Entry R to check out the newest jersey drop and 50th-anniversary collection.

Showdown with Seattle

The Winterhawks and Thunderbirds renew their long-awaited rivalry tonight at the Glass Palace. Last season, the teams were dead even across 10 matchups, each earning five wins for a perfectly split head-to-head series.

Seattle enters tonight at 11-11-2-0 following a 5-3 loss to Kelowna on Friday in Kent. After a slow start, the Thunderbirds sit fifth in the U.S. Division, six points behind second-place Portland.

The T-Birds are led by forward Antonio Martorana, who tops the roster with 33 points (16G, 17A)-already nearly matching his total output from the past two seasons combined, just 24 games into the campaign.

The Barbers

Back by popular demand, The Barbers return to the Glass Palace for in-game haircuts, adding a fresh cut to your game-night experience! Fans can stop by The Barber's chair in the Hawks attack zone corner to sign up, but be sure to get there early as spots fill up fast and availability is limited. Don't miss your chance to leave the rink looking sharper than ever!

Light Show Experience:

We have introduced a new smartphone light show experience this season, powered by CUE's "Light Show" platform.

Make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the Winterhawks App, click on the Lightshow button, enable/accept the permissions, and be ready to join in the fun starting with the team's intro video before the Hawks take the ice!

Fans will be able to sync their phone screens and flashlights to the in-arena presentation, turning the entire crowd into part of the show during key moments like player intros and intermissions. The result? An immersive, high-energy environment where your phone becomes a spotlight and you're actively part of the spectacle.
