One of the most unexpected events for my player was being drafted to the Hamilton Steelhawks. I had absolutely no clue where I would be selected, but just based on mock drafts and TPE lists, I figured I would be a top 10 pick. Almost all of those teams in the top 10 were either rebuilding, coming off awful seasons, or would be bad for the foreseeable future. So to be selected by one of the best franchises in the entire league was an incredibly welcomed surprise! I knew that from day one, we would be competitive and I knew our front office knew exactly what it takes to build a winner throughout the years. While I haven't played a game for the Steelhawks yet, I know that my future is in good hands with this team, this management, and the wonderful fans of Hamilton. I can't wait to don that jersey for the first time, which will only reiterate how fortunate I was to be taken by such a successful franchise with the fifth overall pick. It definitely was a goal of mine to be selected in the top 10 and Hamilton not only made that happen, but made me feel welcomed by a winner immediately. Go Steelhawks!
