The Prospect Hawks Football Club represents the western side of
Launceston and areas surrounded by the
Great Western Tiers. The club was established as the Western Storm Football Club and entered the Tasmanian state league competition in 2014. The club replaced the
South Launceston Football Club at the end of the 2013 season, with the latter exiting the competition due to not pursuing a further licence in the Tasmanian State League beyond the season, despite eventually winning the 2013 premiership. Regardless, the history making 2014 Western Storm list was made up of significant numbers of past premiership players joining the new franchise from South Launceston. After a disastrous season on and off the field in 2015, the club was rebranded in 2016 as the Prospect Hawks Football Club, in partnership with local senior and junior clubs in Prospect, to try to improve the club's connection to the western Launceston community. The club's TSL licence was terminated at the end of 2016.
Home stadium During its time as the Western Storm, the club played all its home games at the
Aurora Stadium in Launceston. As the Prospect Hawks, it split its games between Aurora Stadium and Prospect Park.
Training ground The club is headquartered and trains at
Prospect Vale Park in the
Meander Valley Council region.
Guernsey The club guernsey home strip in 2014 was a predominantly dark grey with a significant lighter blue lightning strike sprawled across the front of the guernsey. The away strip was identical with respect to the same lightning strike though it is coloured in a predominantly white background. In the 2015, a new guernsey featured a more prominent impression of the Club's 'Thor' logo, and design combined the club's colours of grey, blue and white. After relaunching as the Prospect Hawks, the club adopted a design of brown and gold vertical stripes, consistent with that of
Australian Football League team . ==Results==
