The Trenton Golden Hawks have had a short summer.

It was almost three months ago that the Hawks completed one of their greatest seasons ever.

It included finishing first during the OJHL regular season, taking the Eastern Conference Championship, and the OJHL title.

Trenton has had an incredible trio of back-to-back-to-back seasons, which have included three straight trips to the league final.
