What is the Booster Club?

The Portland Winter Hawks Booster Club consists of fans that enjoy the game of hockey and the skills of the players involved and wish to help these young gentlemen after their junior careers are over.

How do we do that?

We do this by having fund raising events during the year. The money that is raised during these events is presented to the Major Junior Hockey Scholarship Fund at the end of the season. This fund is used for those players who do not go on to play pro hockey and wish to go to college, but may have a hardship that prevents them from attending college. For each year a player plays in the WHL they are eligible for one year of ongoing education.

How many events do the Boosters have?

The Booster Club schedules up to six meetings per season to discuss events promoted by the Booster Club and its ongoing fundraising. Often, a special guest such as a representative from the team or the Coach will come in to speak and answer questions.

Buttons

Located at the Booster table every home game and at most events, the Booster club has player picture buttons and hockey buttons for sale.

Pizza Blast

The Hawkey Update Pizza Blast is held monthly during the regular season. There are Door Prizes, one complimentary beverage per admission and the always popular Player Pizza Raffle. It works like this: Tickets are sold and a raffle is held just before the players arrive. If your ticket is called, you get to choose a player and buy his pizza, plus the player will sit at your table for pictures, friendly talk and autographs.

At the conclusion of the event, all players will gather in one area for a group photo.

Assistance at Winterhawks Functions

Booster Club members help the Winterhawks at a variety of team functions. Including, but not limited to autograph sessions, team skate events or other events where assistance is needed. It's a great opportunity for Booster Club members to meet other Winterhawks fans. Want to volunteer to help? Stop by the Booster Club table or talk to the Booster Club Board at one of the monthly meetings during the season.
