SIX CONSECUTIVE INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR MEN'S SOCCER
Over the last two decades, the men's soccer team has developed into a provincial powerhouse, capturing 36 combined OCAA medals in outdoor and indoor soccer combined. With its outdoor dominance nationally chronicled, the indoor program often receives less publicity.
The Hawks have won 18 indoor OCAA medals over the last 20 years, including a stretch from 2001 - 2006, where they won six consecutive provincial titles.
