Tomahawks and Hat Tricks Overview

Last season the teams faced each other six times (like they will this season) with the Tomahawks winning four of them. In all, Johnstown outscored the Rabbits 18 to 16 in the six games.

Tomahawks overview

Last year the Tomahawks overcame a very slow start to finish in fifth place in the East Division with a 31-23-3-2 record for 67 points. They swept the New Jersey Titans in the Division's play-in series taking both games on the road to advance to the division's semi-finals where they lost in five games to the eventual East Division champion Rochester Jr. Americans. Adam Houli, long time owner and head coach of the New Jersey 87's of the Eastern Hockey League, is now the team's new head coach.

Hat Tricks Overview

The Hat Tricks finished in eight last season posting a 23-33-3-0 record for 49 points. It was the most regular season wins in the Rabbits five-year franchise history.

The Tricks have ten returners from last season (those who played at least one game last year): Brendan Boring, Gavin O'Hara, Ryan Lukko, Joey Anderson, Kai Elkie, Nick Peragine, Luke Brassil, Austin Michaud, Ben Dempster and CJ D'Agastino.
