The Notre Dame Hawks' road to the Manitoba Cup starts tonight.

The South Eastern Manitoba Hockey League Champions kick off their Provincial Senior Men's 'A' Playoff round robin against the Carberry Plainsmen of the Tiger Hills Hockey League.

"We're definitely excited to be coming into the tournament," says Hawks' captain Steve Clark. "Coming off a big seven game series victory in Game 7, it's an awesome feeling right now. Every team that made it to these provincials deserve to be here so we just need to refocus and hopefully come out with a win."

The Hawks won their league title Tuesday night over the Portage Islanders, while the Plainsmen fell in the Tiger Hills Hockey League Championship to Killarney. Tonight's game is at Stride Place in Portage, a place the Hawks are very familiar with.

"Playing two games in the season there, and three more in playoffs, it's almost kind of a home advantage for us," adds Clark. "We're not playing in Notre Dame where we've had a lot of success, but probably a step up over Carberry." 

That game goes at 8 p.m. at Stride Place in Portage la Prairie.

The Tiger Hills Champions are in round robin action tonight as well. The Killarney Shamrocks face Miniota-Elkhorn C-Hawks, North Central Hockey League champions, in Rivers at 8:15 p.m.
