Portland, Ore. - It's been nearly three weeks without Winterhawks hockey at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, but the boys are back and ready for a healthy dose of home cooking.

Following a two-week road trip through B.C. and Washington, the Hawks return home in third place in the WHL's U.S. Division, holding down a playoff spot but keeping their eye locked on the top of the division. Eleven games on home ice highlight the next month of Portland's schedule, and there's plenty of reason to get excited, get your tickets and get your game face on in downtown PDX.

HAWKS HOMESTAND INFO

Chasing History

The Hawks have picked up 999 wins on home ice in their history, just on the cusp of a historic 1000th victory. What better time to reach that mark than with a full house at the VMC as soon as tomorrow night? Don't miss your chance to witness a piece of Winterhawks history!

Welcome back, Jaydon!

Portland's leading scorer from the 2019-20 season, Jaydon Dureau, rejoined the team on its recent road trip, and is expected to make his 2021-22 home debut tomorrow against Everett. After notching 31 points in 24 games last year and starting this season with the AHL's Syracuse Crunch, the former fifth-round pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning is off to another strong start with three points in four games on the year, including this shorthanded beauty against Tri-City last weekend:
