Hawks Fans,


This week’s Wings Up newsletter has everything you need! Details on tomorrow's home game, live watch party Saturday, group ticket information, a look at our 2026 promotional schedule, and more.

Friday Night - HOME Game​The River Hawks and the Idaho Falls Spud Kings know each other well. We have had six head-to-head games this season and have produced a series that is as even as it is intense. Check out the Head-to-Head (6 games) Stats: 

  • Series Record: River Hawks 3-2-1

  • Even-strength goals: River Hawks 13, Idaho Falls 9 

  • Special Teams:


    River Hawks PP: 1-for-17 (5.9%) 

  • River Hawks PK: 16-for-22 (72.7%)


    PIMs nearly dead even (46 vs 48) ​​

​With six games behind us and just one point separating the teams, this isn’t a random Friday, it’s a leverage in the division race. The River Hawks have home ice, and two of our strongest performances against Idaho Falls came right here in Grand Junction, where our pace and forecheck pressure showed up early. Tomorrow night matters and we need the Grand Valley behind us with a packed rink, because games like this move the standings!


Saturday Night - ROAD GameJanuary 24 in Casper, WY at 9:00pmThe River Hawks head north on Saturday to play the Casper Warbirds, this marking their first away game in Casper this season. The River Hawks have controlled the season series so far, winning all three previous games at home and setting the standard on both sides of the puck.

  • Record: 2–0–0

  • Goals For / Against: 16 GF – 1 GA

  • Average Score: 8.0 – 0.50

  • Shots: 84 For – 27 Against in 2 GP

  • Special Teams: 

  • Power Play: 2-for-8 (25%) 

  • Penalty Kill: 4-for-4 (100%) 

Defensively, Grand Junction has been elite, allowing just one goal across two games, all while holding Casper under 15 shots per game on average.
