Tonight's all about YOU, Hawks fans! While the team looks to deliver another W on the ice, there's plenty to be excited for on the concourse, in your seats and all around the VMC at tonight's game!

If you miss out on this pack, or if you're short a set from earlier in the season, you can complete your collection by purchasing the pack(s) you need in the team store!

JOSH DAVIES PRIZE PACK

Once you're inside, make sure you're in your seats for warmups! Cheer on the boys as they hit the ice and keep an eye on the video board for a QR code - that's your chance to win a Josh Davies prize pack, including a signed puck by the man himself AND two tickets to see Zach Bryan, who sings Davies' goal song "Revival", at the Moda Center in November.

EXPANDED LUCKY ROWS & CHUCK-A-PUCK PRIZES

The drawing will occur after the game. Limited tickets remain for sale - act fast for your chance to win!

Struggling Ams

It hasn't been the season Tri-City imagined after a fifth-place finish in the 2022-23 regular season. Now officially eliminated from playoff contention in the current campaign, the Americans have lost six straight games and nine of their last 10. But you can bet they'd love nothing more than to play spoiler along the way, with two more games against the Hawks on the docket starting tonight. Look for a determined start from the home side tonight as they look to oust any upset hopes for the visitors.

More Milestones

For the third straight game, a Winterhawks player will hit a key games played milestone as Jack O'Brien laces 'em up for the 250th time in the WHL! The Denver, Colo. native has been an integral part of the team since his 16-year-old campaign back in 2019-20, and becomes the second active Winterhawk (35th all-time) to hit the 250 games mark alongside James Stefan. Sporting an A on his sweater for each of the past two seasons, O'Brien has posted 50+ points both years and recorded his first 20-goal season during the 2023-24 campaign. Through 249 games thus far, O'Brien has posted 191 points - rapidly nearing the top 40 in Winterhawks history (Rob Geale - 193). Congrats, O-B!

Looking ahead, there are a few other Hawks to keep an eye on as the regular season wraps up. Tomorrow's road tilt in Wenatchee is a double milestone night as James Stefan (250) and Josh Davies (200) each reach new plateaus. Stefan also sits one point shy of 250 in his career, six shy of becoming Portland's second 100-point scorer this season and four goals away from 50. Safe to say - don't take your eyes off #13 in black tonight!
