Tickets for first round Games One and Two at Young Arena will go on sale tomorrow (Wednesday, April 2nd) at noon. They will be available from the Waterloo Black Hawks’ front office at Young Arena, online from waterlooblackhawks.com, or by calling the Domino’s Black Hawks Box Office at (319) 291-7680. If necessary, tickets for Game Five will be made available after the first four games of the series have been completed.

Seats are also still available for the regular season finale against the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders Saturday at 7:05 p.m. The game is likely to determine whether Waterloo will claim the Anderson Cup as the USHL’s regular season champion. Currently the Hawks lead the Indiana Ice by two points for that prestigious trophy.
