NH coaching legend and current head Coach Paul Hogan's NHTI Lynx became the first basketball team from the State of New Hampshire to ever win a national championship when they defeated Golden State Baptist College in the USCAA Championship Game on March 5, 2005 at the Goldie Crocker Wellness Center on the NHTI campus. The Lynx up tempo style frequently results in high-scoring, crowd-pleasing games.
The Lynx are looking forward to another fantastic season in 2010-11 with a solid nucleus of veteran players returning. NHTI plays a competitive schedule frequently playing as many as 30 plus games per season. Many former Lynx have received national and regional recognition for their outstanding individual play including James Thorpe of Concord, Matt Spanos of Newport, Nate Truncellito of Manchester and most recently Chris “Speedy” Lawes of Peterborough.
Over 30 players have left the powerhouse NHTI program to continue their collegiate basketball careers at four-year institutions. Some of these recent players include Kevin Harrington of Ossipee at Rivier College, Patrick Lacasse of Rochester at Wentworth Institute, Ryan Lambert of Derry at Plymouth State, and Brian Lawrence of Exeter at Rivier College.
