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.{{cite news|url=http://www.winnipegsun.com/2013/04/18/steinbach-pistons-pumped|title=Steinbach Pistons Pumped|publisher=Winnipeg Sun|date=18 April 2013|accessdate=3 March 2016|last=Lunney|first=Doug}} That team eventually relocated to Steinbach in 2009 is today known as the Steinbach Pistons.{{cite news|url=http://www.pembinatoday.ca/2009/04/30/blades-take-drive-to-mjhls-motor-city|title=Blades take drive to MJHL's 'Motor City'|date=29 April 2009|accessdate=3 March 2016|publisher=PembinaValleyToday.ca}}
