Senior attackman Ryan Austin etched his name in the Bellingham record books last Thursday by breaking the program’s all‑time goal record during an 8–7 double‑overtime victory over the Norwood Mustangs. The win improved the Blackhawks to 3–4 on the season, and Austin’s milestone capped a night of gritty team play. In a year marked by both highs and lows, Austin’s achievement stands out. He surpassed former captain Mic Flynn to claim sole possession of the scoring crown, becoming the greatest goal‑scorer in school history. The emotion of clinching the record in a hard‑fought win made the moment even sweeter for Austin and his teammates.
Bellingham now turns its attention to a crucial matchup today at 3 PM against the Blackstone Valley RVT Beavers. Sitting at 2–6, the Beavers present an opportunity for the Blackhawks to even their record before April ends and build momentum heading into the stretch run.
