The 2013 season is in full swing for the Chesapeake Bayhawks, who are the defending MLL champs, and for the Hawkettes as well. The new energy that coach Angel has brought shows in every on-field routine. Last year the Hawkettes were, in my admittedly biased opinion, one of the best dance teams in the league. […]

More big changes are in the air for the Chesapeake Hawkettes. In addition to adding 11 new ladies to the squad, the Hawkettes are introducing a new coach as well.  Angel P has taken over the reins. Angel brings a professional pedigree, having just retired from the Baltimore Ravens after six seasons-three as captain and […]

I finally had my chance to right a wrong that I had committed against the Denver Outlaws Cheerleaders way back in 2010.  I was shooting the Major League Lacrosse playoffs in Annapolis, and back then I was still shooting film. The temperature at Army-Navy Stadium reached about 105 degrees on the field and even though […]

Upon arriving back in Boston after a ten year absence, I found myself standing on the hallowed grounds of “Haavaad” Stadium.  Midwest correspondent Dave is right- my IQ jumped a few points merely by walking through the gate.

The Big Vanilla Athletic Club was once again the site of the tryouts for the  Hawkettes, the dance team of the Chesapeake Bayhawks. This year brings big changes to the squad.  Assistant Coach Becca has joined the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders, and Captain/Coach Joanna has taken on the role of Coach.          

The Chesapeake Hawkettes cheered on the Bayhawks to the Major League Lacrosse playoffs this weekend, but the playoffs are threatened by the arrival of Hurricane Irene. Also threatened is a dance clinic featuring the Hawkettes and the visiting Denver Outlaws Dance team.  

With the possible exceptions of Arizona and Southern California, cheerleading squads and dance teams who perform outdoors rarely have to put up with extreme heat, let alone anything topping 100 degrees. The recent mid-Atlantic heatwave caused temperatures to soar into the triple digits along with stifling humidity. The temperature at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium reached […]

The Chesapeake Bayhawks picked up a big win against the Rochester Rattlers at their last home game. The Chesapeake Hawkettes showed off their own winning style in front of over 8400 fans.   The pregame parking lot is always a place to hear local bands, and sample food. It’s also a place for fans to […]
