The spring roster has been set and our first practice will be on Mon 3/13 at 6:00 pm. The full practice and game schedule will be published by the Raiders next week.
NVSHL All Academic Team awards are given each year to players for "outstanding academic achievement during the Northern Virginia Scholastic Hockey League Season." Players are required to maintain a GPA of at least 3.5 during the year to earn this award.
Congratulations to the following 10 Madison Warhawk players receiving the award for the 2016-17 season:
The NVSHL playoff schedule has been set. Based on an 8-2 regular season finish, the Warhawks were ranked 2nd overall in the league behind Broad Run. They will get a bye for the first round of playoffs. After the first round, the Warhawks will be matched up with the 2nd lowest ranked team of those remaining. The Warhawks are scheduled to play in quarter-finals on Mon 2/27 at 7:50 pm on the Reston Olympic ice and will be the home team.
Warhawk seniors Dean Kern and Kamron Sarmadi played in the 2016/17 NVSHL All-Star game as members of the Adams-Norris team. The Patrick-Smythe All-Stars took control of the game in the third period with 3 unanswered from the Adams-Norris All-Stars with a final score of 6-3.
The Warhawks are headed to the playoffs as division champions with their 4-3 win over McLean Friday night. Goals were scored by forwards Kamron Sarmadi and Luke Pohlman each with 2 apiece. Assists came from Jason Calem and Jeff Hunter. The Warhawks scored first but McLean would tie and then lead midway thru the 2nd period. Late in the 2nd, Madison tied. After a mostly scoreless 3rd period, the Warhawks scored the go ahead goal late with only a few minutes remaining. Shots were 24 for the Warhawks and 27 for the Highlanders. The Warhawks finished the regular season with an 8-2 record.
Two senior members of the Warhawks, goalie Dean Kern and captain Kamron Sarmadi have been selected as members of the 2016/17 NVSHL All-Stars. The NVSHL All-star Game will take place at the Ashburn Ice House on Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2017 at 5:00 pm.
Warhawks are playoff bound with their 3-1 win over division rival, Yorktown Patriots on Friday 1/27. The Warhawks were outshot 35 to 21, however quality over quantity was the theme for the evening. Goals were scored by forwards Luke Pohlman (2) and Jeff Hunter. Assists came from Keegan Sweeney, Kamron Sarmadi and Luke Pohlman. Goalie Dean Kern turned away all but one shot.
