We are incredibly proud to announce a partnership that features half a century of Hawka history! A massive thank you to Life Member and Veterans’ games record-holder Greg Krenn and GK Travel + Cruise for their ongoing support as the Player Sponsor for Jarrod Lake.

Thank you, Greg, for your incredible loyalty and for everything you’ve given to the Brown & Gold!


ANNOUNCEMENT | JARROD LAKE RE-SIGNS

The ‘Lake Show’ is back for 2026! We’re proud to confirm that Jarrod Lake has re-signed with the Boronia Hawks for the 2026 season!

Jarrod isn’t just a key defender, he’s the heart and soul of the club, a fan favourite, and one of the most respected figures to pull on the brown and gold. He continues to be a cornerstone of our back six and a foundation of our current era of success.

  • 3× Senior Premiership Player – 2018, 2023, 2024;
  • Named in the EFNL Team of the Year six times – 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024.
  • Seniors Most Courageous Player – 2016 & 2017.

What he put his body through just to get up for last year’s Grand Final was unmatched and not only did he get there, he was one of the best players on the ground. That effort sums up everything about Jarrod fearless, selfless, and unbreakable.We’re absolutely thrilled to have him locked in for 2026. Let’s go, Lakey!

Jarrod is proudly supported by Greg Krenn and GK Travel + Cruise.

PLAYER SPONSOR | ALI GOTTLIEBSEN

We are very pleased to announce that premiership player ALI GOTTLIEBSEN will be sponsored for the coming season by long-time sponsor and Life Member GREG “Hollywood” KRENN and GK Travel + Cruise.

“We’re a family travel business, with a strong sense of community. We live, work, study and play in Melbourne’s east. We’re fiercely independent, but align ourselves with Helloworld Travel Ltd. This means we control our own destiny, but have the ability to draw on the scale and buying power of Australia’s leading integrated travel business. Put simply, this gives us access to the same travel products, deals and prices as the franchises who spend millions promoting themselves. We’d rather make sure we give our clients the best travel deal possible”.

Located in Mountain Gate, Hollywood and his team give you the personal service you won’t get online with the added protection of assisting you if things change or go wrong while you’re travelling.
