Clinton, NY — With seven new players, the Hamilton ladder will be competitive this year.
The Continentals have lost three players from last season’s top ten, but with the influx of new talent, the team has the potential to be much deeper. Head coach Jamie King reports that he is “excited about the many new players that [we] have this year and the energy that they are bringing to the program and practice.”
Even though the Hamilton roster is growing increasingly competitive, the program still retains a focus on sportsmanship and having a “positive team concept in a very individually focused sport,” as King explains it.
The Continentals will have a change in coaching, as assistant coach Ark Oakes has moved on. Dan Jonas will continue to assist the team.
