[[Image:Colour-seniors09.PNG|thumb|right|200px|The Hawks classic uniform, as worn in the 2009 Buce League.]]
The Hawks merged with '''The Gritz''' this league, after crucial player exports like Michael Read and Wilson Leung left both teams without sufficient numbers of regular players. Nick Allan is captained the Hawks throughout the Winter League, and Michael Read played one match on his return to Newcastle after serving his jail sentence in Holland. A number of other ex-Hawks and rookies have donned the Hawks colours towards the end of the Winter League as uni holidays commenced.

[[Image:Colour-scourge09.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The colours for The Scourge, primary white and secondary red]]
Led by controversial player Theo Rogers, the aptly named Scourge were a group of disgruntled junior players that had hoped to win the League in their first ever season. Of their outspoken catchphrases, their most common ones are "We are going to destroy the Avalanches" and "Evie will never make it into the [[Double Buce Club]]." The Scourge are the youngest team to ever enter a Buce league.

The Scourge's playing roster included:

*Theo Rogers
*Jackson "you touched it last" Cowan
*Alex Rutherford
*Flynn Comerford
*Jake Herington
*Tom Mudge
*Martin Franke
*Noah Church
*Callum Howes
*Connor O'leary

==[[Novice Strike Force]]==
[[Image:Colour-novice09.PNG|thumb|right|200px|The Team Colours for Novice Strike Force.]]
Novice Strike Force were a group of hopefuls that loved the game of Buce and the social aspect of the competition. Led by [[Quad Team]] dropout and long-time fan Lachlon Willis, the team was comprised mainly of ex- Quad Team players, as well as SFBC dropout Toby Travalos. NSF aimed to be the team for any players who are new to the game of Buce, and were wishing to hone their skills. However, their virtually all-rookie team roster, combined with lack-lustre match attendance, ensured that they were firmly rooted to the bottom of the ladder. 

The team was made up of:

*Lachlon Willis
*Emily Thrower
*Dane McMahon-Squires
*Toby Travalos
*Jarrod Jones
*Sam Swinburn

==[[Image:TOECUTTERSTEST2 copy.jpg|60px]][[The Toecutters]]==
[[Image:Colour-toecutters09.PNG|thumb|right|200px|The Team Colours for the Toecutters.]]
The seniors team, founded for this league and led by prominent ex-Blek player Keith Rogers, had high hopes for a future in Buce. Full of over-35 year old players, this team relied on their teamwork and slightly aggressive playing style to carry themselves to third place by the conclusion of the league.

The Toecutters players were:
*Drew Cowen
*Keith Rogers
*Glenn Everson
*Matthew Hair
*Krammers
*Gordon Patrick
