Hear about the Black Hawks – past and present – during a series of programs presented at local public libraries in the weeks ahead.

Waterloo broadcaster Tim Harwood will visit and share stories from the team's deep history, which stretches back to 1962.  Fans will also have a chance to share their own memories of the team and ask questions about hockey in the Cedar Valley.

The presentations are in conjunction with the recently-released book about the Black Hawks: Seniors to Juniors; A Collection of Waterloo Hockey Stories.  More than 40 included articles flow across the timeline of Black Hawks history, from the early years – when the hockey landscape included just a half dozen National Hockey League teams – to today, as talented skaters come to the Cedar Valley with aspirations to someday play for one of the NHL's 32 clubs.

Exclusively on January 13th, the Hawks' visit to Waterloo Public Library will also include an appearance by Black Hawks players.  WPL's Youth Department is presenting the special evening story time from 6 to 7 p.m. including crafts, and a tasty snack - all led by the players themselves.
