50 Years of Hawkey
The Portland Winterhawks are set to Commemorate 50 Years of Hawkey on home ice! Don't miss the home opener on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. PT as we take on the Saskatoon Blades at the newly renovated Glass Palace. After five weeks on the road, we'll be excited to return and celebrate this milestone season with an unforgettable night of hockey and fan-filled festivities. This is more than a game - it's a full-blown party, and you won't want to miss a moment!
Fans in attendance on October 25 will get the first look at the Top 50 Winterhawks of All Time, revealed in alphabetical order during our home opener. Throughout the season, we'll spotlight the list in groups of 10, leading up to the grand reveal of the Top 10 Winterhawks on March 7, 2026.
Familiar Foe
The Winterhawks and Cougars are well-acquainted rivals, having battled through numerous high-stakes matchups in recent seasons. Over the past five years, the two teams have clashed 16 times, with Portland holding the upper hand with an 11-3-0-2 record, including last year when the Winterhawks swept all four regular-season games against Prince George. They have also met in three of the previous four postseasons, with the Hawks winning all three series. In the first round of the 2025 WHL Playoffs, Portland won a double-overtime thriller in Game 4, en route to a Game 7 victory at the CN Centre.
Cartside Watch Party
We kick off our 50th Anniversary season with a road game against a familiar opponent, the Prince George Cougars, this weekend. What is better than watching the return of the Hawks with fellow fans and the Rosebuds? For a second season, we are hosting viewing parties at Cartside (1825 N Williams Avenue, Portland, OR) at 7:00 P.M. so come out, catch all the action, and join in on the "T.N.T". chant while enjoying great food and beverages.
