Wollongong will also host the Kings in a New Year’s Eve blockbuster and on March 9, 2012 before a Sydney Entertainment Centre showdown on March 24 next year.
That stoush will be the first leg of a season-ending double-header for the Hawks, who will host Adelaide on March 25, 2012.
The Hawks will make the Sunshine Swing on the weekend of January 20 and 21 to visit Cairns and Townsville respectively.
