The Steinbach Hawks were a Canadian junior 'A' ice hockey team based in Steinbach, Manitoba that played in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) from 1985 to 1988.[1]

After only three seasons in the MJHL, the Hawks took leave of absence following the 1987–1988 season and formally ceased operations two years later. The league added the Winnipeg-based Southeast Thunderbirds for the 1988–1989 season to counter the loss of the Hawks.[2] That team eventually relocated to Steinbach in 2009 is today known as the Steinbach Pistons.[3]
