Hunter Weiss started playing hockey when he was just 3 years old. He played for the Highland Park Falcons and then the Chicago Mission and now he is with the Steel. Weiss is originally from Lake Forrest, IL.

Weiss is committed to D1, University of Notre Dame. With his eyes set on getting to Notre Dame as soon as possible, Weiss said, “I liked Notre Dame because they have a great alumni system, they are a good team, they have great facilities, and I will get a good education”.

Weiss mentioned a few of his favorite moments this season have been the Alaska trip, sweeping Fairbanks in the home opener, and their recent 6-0 win against Janesville, among many others.
