In 1979, the team won the CJHL Championship and moved on to the Centennial Cup where they lost the semi-finals to the Ontario Hockey Association's Guelph Platers—the eventual champion.

This time they lost in the quarter-finals of the National Championship to Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League Champion Joliette Cyclones.

Ironically, this series went to game 7 where the Hawks won 6-1 (they broke a league record for the most goals in a short time).

On the way home to Hawkesbury, the team turned around and went to the hospital in Fredericton, New Brunswick because Beaulne was in pain and needed medical attention.

Owner Sylvain Landers made a dramatic move and brought in Head coach Rick Dorval.

Dorval brought with him a successful track record of turning around struggling franchises with the Gloucester Rangers and the Ottawa Jr Sens achieving Coach of the Year in 2012-2013.

With a rebuilt team in 2015-2016 the Hawks continued to move forward finishing third overall with only three points separating them from first place.
