Playing career

Hawgood spent his junior career with the Kamloops Blazers of the WHL, and made such an impression that the Blazers retired his #4 sweater. He represented Canada twice at the World Junior Championships, including the infamous Punch-up in Piestany at the 1987 tournament. (Hawgood emerged from the brawl with a broken nose, thanks to a head butt from Vladimir Konstantinov.) Hawgood was named to the all-star team at the following year's WJC in Moscow, leading Canada to the gold medal.

Hawgood was selected by the Boston Bruins in the tenth round of the 1986 NHL Draft. [1] He would spend two decades in pro hockey; he would wind up donning the sweaters of seven other NHL clubs, as well as several minor league and European teams, before finally retiring as a player in 2006.

Coaching career

On November 8, 2007, Hawgood was named head coach of the Blazers. Hawgood then moved to the position of Coach and finally Assistant Coach with the Kamloops Storm of the KIJHL. He started the 2009–2010 season as Head Coach, but lost that position due to the continued poor performance of the team. It was announced prior to the start of the 2010–2011 season that he would not be continuing with the team in any capacity.
