Hood Hawks falter in playoffs KIM HARNEY Staff Writer The Portland Winter Hawks' '96- '97 season came to an abrupt end two weeks ago when the first place Hawks were eliminated in game six of the first round of playoffs by the Prince George Cougars. Finishing first in the Western di vision with the opportunity to meet the sixth place finishers would seem like an easy feat for many teams. The Winter Hawks were well aware that the task would not be an easy one this post season. Behind the solid play of goaltender Chris Mason, the Cougars were able to win every regu lar season game against the Hawks on their ice, a claim no other team can make. The Hawks jumped out to a great start in game one, beating the Cou gars 5-3 in the Memorial Coliseum. The Hawks were dealt a devastating blow in that game when defenseman Joey Tetarenko was victim of a checking from behind penalty, which resulted in a knee injury that would keep him out for the remainder of the series. The Cougars went on to win the next three games in a row, and an eventual series victory in game six. The 96-97 season has come to a bittersweet end, but the Hawks are already preparing for what they hope will be an even stronger 97-98 sea son. $700, Must Sell. John Angelis, 557-1427.
