Hanlan, who helped Canada to a bronze medal in the World Championships a year ago, took some time to adjust to the competitive landscape of NEPSAC Basketball.
”It took some time for Olivier to adjust, to the school and the atmosphere here. But once he settled in, taking advantage of the things offered here, such as getting up at 6 am for workouts, it clicked.” New Hampton School Head Coach Pete Hutchins told Crown Magazine. "What really impressed me with him was how coachable he is and that he plays both ends with that competitive chip on his shoulders. I’m anticipating an even stronger impact from him next season.”
