Back-to-back losses have dropped the Valley West Hawks from their first-place perch in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League.

The Hawks dropped consecutive games for the first time, falling to 6-4-0.

The team is made up of midget hockey players from 91Ô­´´, Cloverdale, White Rock and Surrey.

The team was on the short end of a 7-4 decision on Saturday at the 91Ô­´´ Events Centre and 2-1 on Sunday at Coquitlam's Planet Ice. Both games were against the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs.

The first game was played at the 91Ô­´´ Events Centre on Saturday afternoon.

The Hawks tied the score at 3-3 early in the third, but the Chiefs responded with four goals in less than 10 minutes to take control.

Ryan Rensby (91Ô­´´) scored twice while Latrell Charleson (Surrey) and Sam Chatterly (White Rock) had one goal apiece.

Game two was played at Coquitlam's Planet Ice and the Hawks trailed 2-0 after two periods.

Jordan Klimek (91Ô­´´) was the lone Hawk to score.

Up next for the Hawks is a road game on Oct. 29 at the Burnaby Winter Club against the Vancouver Northwest Giants (5-2-1).

The two teams then complete the home-and-home series on Oct. 30 at the 91Ô­´´ Events Centre.
