The Seattle Sea Hawks (sometimes written as Seattle Seahawks) were a minor professional hockey team based in Seattle, Washington, playing at the Civic Ice Arena. The Sea Hawks began as a founding member of the North West Hockey League, playing in that league for its three-season existence from 1933 to 1936, before joining the second iteration of the Pacific Coast Hockey League until 1941.{{cite web |url=http://nitzyshockeyden.blogspot.com/2015/01/seattle-seahawks-hockeys-version.html |title=Seattle Seahawks, Hockey's Version |date=January 16, 2015 |website=nitzyshockeyden.blogspot.com}}{{cite web |url=https://arenadigest.com/2018/12/20/seattle-hockey-history-metropolitans-nhl-expansion/ |title=Seattle Hockey History: From Metropolitans to NHL Expansion |author=Jesse Goldberg-Strassler |date=December 20, 2018 |publisher=Arena Digest |website=arenadigest.com}} They were the NWHL champions in 1935–36.
