\n\u201cI\u2019m super excited,\u201d Hume who attended Northern Colorado and played with Bonn last season, began. \u201cI think this is one of the longer travel days I had in my life, but I\u2019m glad that we\u2019re finally here and get to be a part of this culture. It\u2019s good to have a young team and hopefully I can bring some experience and just support them however I can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Head Coach Eldad Bentov was thrilled to have the 6\u201d6 forward on board Hume explained as he spoke to bench boss prior to joining the team, \u201cHe said that he was excited to have me, he\u2019s putting a good team together and hopefully we just go and win as many games as we can and just enjoy it while we\u2019re there.\u201d

\nAs for goals Hume was clear and to the point, \u201cObviously to win as many games as possible, just to bring pride to the club and show the fans that we really care a lot about the club, that is kind of where we are at.\u201d<\/p>\n

Big man Darius Hannah who is a rookie out of Bradley was also happy to be in the Holy Land, \u201cVery excited. Ready to work. It\u2019s new, but I feel like it\u2019s very special, a unique feeling. Ready to work and win some games.\u201d
