Each Monday, the Waterloo Black Hawks staff recognizes players as the team's Offensive Player of the Week and the Hardest Worker of the Week.  

Christie Door Company Offensive Player of the Week: Salvatore Viviano
In three road games, Viviano score five times, including the first hat trick by a Black Hawk this season on December 9th in Des Moines.  The forward also snagged an assist for six total points.  He earned a team-leading +2 plus/minus differential. 

The weekly offensive honor is presented by Christie Door Company.  With roots in the Cedar Valley which stretch back into the 1950s, Christie Door Company offers the largest selection of quality door options at prices to meet their customers' budget.  Their motto is: Our Name Stands for Quality, Value is our Tradition!

UAW Local 838 Hardest Worker: Tyler Deakos
Deakos continued to produce points during the early weeks of his time with the Black Hawks.  He tallied a goal and two assists across three games.  That puts him at 10 points (four goals, six assists) across nine appearances for Waterloo.
