Penfield High School rising senior Nick Kimmins made a summer-time commitment to play lacrosse at Hartford after his final year with the Patriots.

The defenseman, who has been playing on the varsity unit since his sophomore year, will join a large number of former Section Five players when he joins the Hawks. Last year's Hawks roster included Dan Pierce Brighton from Brighton and Adam Fingar, Austin Rogers, Ben Knapton and Scott Bement, all from Canandaigua Academy.

Hartford was one game short in the defense of their America East Championship with a one goal loss to Stony Brook. They real winners, however were the many players who helped the Hawks to take first in the AEC Honor Roll. Lacrosse led the charge with twenty-sic honor roll players.

Kimmins played on both the rising junior (2011) and rising senior Nike All Star teams. He also played with the Rochester Brine National All-American team this year.
