Led by Metropolitan Conference place finishers Eduardo Delgado and Sean Messina the Hawks have a tremendous amount of talent and leadership in the room making their goal to improve upon last years 7-11 record very attainable. Several Hawks spent time competing in various tournaments this off season to prepare for the 2010-2011 season. Mike Simmon has brought in new assistant coach Chris Mazzatta and clinician Shintaro Higashi to give the Hawks the best chance of getting on the podium come March.
